Moving a Sketch Positioning dimension in NX3

Moving a Sketch Positioning dimension in NX3

Moving a Sketch Positioning dimension in NX3

(OP)
I would like to move the location of a Positioning dimension within a Sketch for clarity, can anyone help please?

Thanks for looking.

RE: Moving a Sketch Positioning dimension in NX3

I'm not sure if things have changes for this in NX3. In NX2 I believe that You could do so by Right Clicking the feature in the tree and selecting Edit Positioning Dimensions and you can add delete or move the dimensions. Alternatively you can create a fixed point in your sketch and dimension to that as your sketch WCS. or just dimension the sketch to the part from within the sketch which is the technique in many cad systems.

<i>"...or just dimension the sketch to the part from within the sketch which is the technique in many cad systems."</i>

Actually this is the approach that we recommend.  The use of 'Positioning Dimensions' of the entire sketch itself is sort of left over from earlier versions of Unigraphics when the Sketcher was not as capabale as it is now.  While we still support those procedures, it's mostly for legacy situations.
