That way you can see the manual dimensions at a glance.

RE: manual dimensions
While it's not an automatic function (in that it won't detect which are or which aren't out-of-scale) there is a dimension type in NX to indicate out-of-scale, which is to place a simple line under the dimension (can be edited under 'Style').
Note that dimensions inside of parentheses are generally considered as indicating that they are for 'reference' purposes only.

Hey! I remember those days! Pencil in one hand and the power eraser in the other. ;) I do remember the squiggly line.
We try not making a habit of manual dimensions only when absolutely necessary.

your old school drafting practices agree with what I was taught also. We used the straight line which NX supports, and the brackets for reference.
