NX2 Detail view

NX2 Detail view

NX2 Detail view

(OP)
I work with the "circular boundary on parent view has label with leader" setting for detailed views.
Is there a way to relocate the arrow once the view is placed ?

RE: NX2 Detail view

Try this advice from John Baker at UGS:  "Move the label while holding down the "Shift" key."

RE: NX2 Detail view

(OP)
Thanks, ewh, but it doesn't change the ARROW ORIGIN of the label ...

RE: NX2 Detail view

It works for me (NX3), but here is the complete posting.

RE: NX2 Detail view

It may be something that is not in NX2 (duh).

RE: NX2 Detail view

I can confirm this does not work in NX2.  

It isn't very elegant, but you can change the "label on parent" setting to "boundary" (i.e. no label) and make your own label with the annotation editor.  Then you can set the arrow origin wherever you like.

RE: NX2 Detail view

The location of the arrow is determined by where the cursor was when you dragged to get the detail boundary and let go.  With a little thought you can usually get close enough that it doesn't look bad.

RE: NX2 Detail view

I usually sketch my view boundaries in expanded view.
You can do this after the fact and replace the boundary curve for view with the sketched circle. you can just expand the view and rotate the circle by using transform to change the arrow location.
