Lengthen datum axis
Lengthen datum axis
(OP)
Using NX4, I created an additional datum axis on a part drawing a certain distance from the original Z-axis. The resulting arrow/line is very short, making it difficult to select for arrays and such. Is there a function in NX4 that allows one to lengthen the axis line as is done with planes for better visibility?

To cowski: I was ready to create a cylinder as you suggested when the next reply seemed even more viable. I see no reason why that wouldn't work. Thanks for your reply.
To Agriego: That did work, and I thank you.
We have NX5 sitting here gathering dust until our IT department gets off their duffs and installs the newfangled license on our server. NX6 will probably be out before they get to that.
Once again, thanks to all.

Glad that helped!
