Auto Dimensions in Drafting

Auto Dimensions in Drafting

Auto Dimensions in Drafting

(OP)
Hi Guys,
      We create a model using the sketch with all the Required dimensions and make it fully constrained.
     I completes the model and enter in to the drafting.
Then Insert Sht, Template, Base View & Other req'd Views.

Then I should do all the detailing.
Is there the option like Auto Dimensioning which automatically adds the dimensions in the drafting(according to the dimensions given in the sketcher).

Version using is NX6

Please help me in solving this issue.

Regards,
Kalyan

RE: Auto Dimensions in Drafting

While in the Drawing and after you have added the Views, go to...

Insert -> Feature Parameters...

...and expand the 'Part File named object' and then the 'Features' object and select the Sketch of interest and then the view you wish to annotate and then hit OK.

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