NX5 GD&T ? (Invalid data in Feature Control Frame)

NX5 GD&T ? (Invalid data in Feature Control Frame)

NX5 GD&T ? (Invalid data in Feature Control Frame)

(OP)
I keep getting this "Invalid data in Feature Control Frame" when I try to add GD&T to my drawings.

Cna someone help?

RE: NX5 GD&T ? (Invalid data in Feature Control Frame)

I feel the following text from ugii_env.dat file will help.


#  Drafting text has never supported tab (\t, \011) or line feed (\n, \012) characters.
#  Consequently, these characters are no longer allowed in Drafting text.
#  These characters should neither be entered interactively in the Annotation Editor
#  nor included in text read from a file such as text read by the "Insert from File" function
#  in the Annotation Editor, or a file specified for the GRIP NOTE command.
#  To support legacy file text that includes these characters, the
#  UGII_DRAFT_REMOVE_UNSUPPORTED_CONTROL_CHARACTERS can be set to either TRUE or true.
#  Setting this variable to true will cause all tab and line feed characters included
#  in the text to be automatically removed.  To use this environment variable simply remove
#  the "#" comment character from the front of the declaration below.
#
#  To have tab and line feed characters permanently removed from a note template file:
#      1) run Unigraphics with UGII_DRAFT_REMOVE_UNSUPPORTED_CONTROL_CHARACTERS=TRUE,
#      2) Open the Annotation Editor
#      3) Use the "Insert from File" function to read in the note template file.
#         A status message should be displayed indicating that control characters were removed.
#      4) You can optionally try placing the note to verify that an
#         "Invalid text in Annotation Editor" message is not reported and that the note can
#         be created.
#      5) Use the "Save As" function to save the note template text back to the file
#         without the control characters.

Thanks, I contacted UG & found out that I needed to add a leader to my selection from the leader tool to make this happen. In the past you would get an automatic leader selection box appear but not anymore.

I love what UG has done for Drafting, it is much more user friendly.
