Drafring: Centre lines and dims not lining up with edges!

Drafring: Centre lines and dims not lining up with edges!

Drafring: Centre lines and dims not lining up with edges!

(OP)
This is very odd.
I have a drawing, but at certain zoom factors the centre lines of holes are shifting noticeably off position and dimension extension lines are not in line with the edges of the part.

If I zoom right in then they align properly.

Is there some sort of "view tolerance" I need to edit?
I've never seen this happen before.

NX 6.0.4.3

RE: Drafring: Centre lines and dims not lining up with edges!

Yes, there are tolerances, but they really only apply when you looking at the drawing.  When you go to print/plot/export to PDF/CGM, everything is done using a much higher (tighter) tolerance.  However, when you see this condition and it's annoying you, try going to...

View -> Operation -> Regenerate Work

...and see if that helps.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Maybe try a part clean-up to see if that helps. It's just a guess, but worth the try.

Yes, I already tried regenerating the view.
It seemed to fix itself at some point today though, so I'll file it under "an odd thing happened".

I usually opt for the story-line that 'It was Cosmic Rays' as some people actually believe that it's possible winky smile
