Different arc length dimensions in drafting
Different arc length dimensions in drafting
(OP)
Hello,
please look at the attached prt file (nx7). In drafting it is possible to get different arc length dimensions. One dimension value (greater value) is for arc of the sketch, and other (lesser value)is for 3d-centerline.
which one is correct?
NX7.0.1.7 mp2
win xp32 sp3

However, that being said, what we're seeing here is a bug which has been fixed in NX 7.5. The dimension of the Sketched Arc is correct, but the length of the '3D Curve' is off by a factor of 2, which happens to be the scale of the view. To see what I mean, edit the scale of your view, changing it from 1:2 to 1:1 and recreate the 'Arc length' dimensions and you will see that they are now both the same
