NX5 Drafting dimension and text help lines missing
NX5 Drafting dimension and text help lines missing
(OP)
Hi,
I could not find the setting to appear those dimension placement help lines as well as text help lines. Previously system giving me the help line, once I move my cursor near the existing dimension to align new dimension or text, if I dont need the help line I could use the Alt key.
I searched all preferences to find the setting, I know setting is somewhere there, please help.

preferences > grid and work plane > toggle "show"

Sorry, its not about grid, If you want to align a dimension when you are inserting, you can see a help line if you are moving your cursor on the existing dimension.
Previously I used this option, now I could not find the setting. Thanks for your response.

I am on NX6, but I think it is the same in NX5
RE: NX5 Drafting dimension and text help lines missing
"Dynamic Alignment" did the trick. You are great!

Unchecking the option as suggested by you, did not work..
RE: NX5 Drafting dimension and text help lines missing
As you're placing the new dimension, after the preview is first seen, move your cursor over the item you wish to align the new dimension to until it highlights (your new dimension may disappear while you're doing this, but that's OK, it'll come back). Now move the cursor back to where the new dimension should be (it'll reappear automatically) and then drag the new dimension until it nears the point of alignment with the other item and it should snap into place showing the 'help lines'. Anyway, that's the way it's behaving on my system.

1) While doing the detailing work in UG Nx6, the dimension will disappears when we made changes in the modelling.
2) If we dimension to the section curves in detailing the dimension will disappears when we made some changes to the modelling...
