(OP)
1. Is there a way or reason why the chamfer dimension does not re-associate?
2. Is there a way or reason why I cannot ordinate dimension to a "Block Centerline"
3. In NX4 will i be able to edit an ordinate dimension with-out entering "ordinate dimension". Currently you have to enter before you can append text to the dimension.
4. Is there a way to control where a section line bends during creation? Currently after the section cuts I have to go back and move the bends, where desired. I would like to move them before creation.
5. Is there a way to link the displayed x-hatching to the model. so when i designate the model as Aluminum, the hatching for said model genterates as "aluminum"?
6. Will NX4 offer s spell checker on the annotation editor?
7. Will NX4 offer an appended text option for dimensions with quantity? example:
0.25 (4)
0.25 4x
0.25 4pl.
Where the appended text quantity would be pulled from an expanded selection?
Thanks

7. Appended text has been in UG since I started using it at V3.1 in 1987. It has been enhanced along the way to offer multiple locations for the appended text. To automatically generate the appended numeric value would be hard as the system has no way of knowing how many 0.25 dimensions you are combining into the value. I suppose you could write a program that would count the number of picks and then use the count for the appended number.
