While using different draft values, it would result in variable plastic thickness, and that can cause problems right

[@alexispaniagua9698]

Thats make lots of sense... 🤔

[@jeffmiller6366]

Variable draft angles are common. A .5 degree is generally used across all vertical surfaces, while specific areas may require more draft depending on things like surface textures, depth of the vertical surface, etc.

Hi sir, Im using NX 2312 but I dont have the command to reommend the draft angle base upon the geometrical condition. For what is this? Do I need to enable something?

These capabilities are part of the NX Molded Part Design add-on. You would need to either have license for that particular module or if you are using Value Based Licensing then it would be enabled through your token pool.
