The dimension text in the sketch is transformed into a kind of symbol, it resembles the letter p. If I click on a measure then the right size becomes on the screen. Ik have this problem in nx6. See the uploud picture.

Already thanks.

I have never seen that before.

Could upload a part containing a sketch which behaves this way?

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

Try changing the line font display from Hardware to Software (see attached image1.jpg).
It also may be to do with the graphics card.
You can try turning down the level of graphics acceleration (see other attached image2.jpg).

Try changing the graphics driver. If it's a certified card then use the certified driver otherwise, update to the latest graphics driver available.

Seen this problem before and it's always with uncertified cards. The driver can fix the problem but it's no guarantee. The best solution is a certfied graphics card.

RE: The dimension text in the sketch is transformed into a kind of symbol.

My guess is with Anthonys, This type of graphics errors are common on non-certified computers and graphics cards. ( And the error searching/ solving erases the cost saving of buying the non certified computer.)

RE: The dimension text in the sketch is transformed into a kind of symbol.

I have the same problem. I have the NX 7.0 installed.
I know that it isn't problem of nx configuration because I had the same problem with NX 6.0.
I've updated my graphic driver but it continues.

updating to the latest driver isn't always the solution. If it's a certified card, then use the certified driver, otherwise you'll have to try every driver you can find.

(OP)
The problem was solved when I installed Versie 267.76 win7 64bit whql for the video card Nvidia gt 325m. Imported is to a video card cleanup before installation the new driver.

Thanks!
