Unigraphics UG NX allows us to work on a list of different kind of environments like CAD modeling,, Drafting, FEA simulation, Assemblies, Sheet metal, Shape studio, Manufacturing , Flexible Printed circuit design etc.
In order to switch from one application to other you can either choose the desired application in the drop down list at the top left corner of the screen which is named as Start .
Else you can use the following list of keyboard shortcuts to choose the application. Ensure that you have the desired UG applications installed in the package , before trying these shortcuts.
