Strange dimension lines in model sketch

Hallo.

I have problem with displaying dimensions - some extra lines.
Here is a screen grab so you can see example for explanation.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.

Best regards,
Michael

What version of NX are you using?

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

OK, try going to...

View -> Camera -> Edit...

...and when the dialog opens go to the section titled 'Clipping' and push the button labeled 'Fit Planes to Extents' and then hit OK and see if that helped any.

I've seen that several times.

Go to the advanced settings for your graphics driver and select UGS/NX.

Thanks John, but there is no effect.
Phillip, could you say more? I haven't got anything like "UGS/NX" in graphics driver settings.
I work on notebook with GMA 4500MHD.

Then you may be out of luck.

I saw the same issue on a Dell Latitude (which is a non-certified configuration) and we couldn't fix it at all.
