RE: Resize Datums

(OP)
ok works on datum planes...
but on reference axis I can not move the origin of the fixed axis its locked...
the resize command was easier...

RE: Resize Datums

In the past (prior to NX 4) you could only 'resize' fixed datums.  Now you can edit the size of both fixed and referenced Datums.

In the case of a fixed Datums Axis you can edit both the length and origin, so in that case, nothing has changed.

As for referenced Datums, since by Definition they were created relative to some other object, while you can change their size, the location/origin remains fixed relative to the referenced object, however the size/length can be edited, which was NOT possible prior to NX 4.

As for the Datum CSYS, if you wish to change the relative screen size of it, just double click the CSYS object and in the 'Settings' section change the 'Scale Factor' to the desired 'size'.

RE: Resize Datums

You can only move the arrowhead end of an axis.  Grab the arrowhead and move it to resize the axis.  The opposite end will not change and based on my experiences, should not pass through to the negative side unless the positive end is pointing that direction.
