Associate Text (Depth Callout) with Model Features
Associate Text (Depth Callout) with Model Features
(OP)
Hello, I am using NX6. When creating a drawing there are times when I need to add text to a diameter dimension to call out the depth of a hole (like dowel pin holes). Is there a way to associate these text inputs to the model so if there were a model change the text would automatically change along with it?
Thanks
Thanks

What version of NX are you running and are you working the Master Model Drawing mode or not?

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

I don't know where "feature dimensioning" is but I found a 'Feature Parameters' menu under 'Insert' and selected the feature but it just input a cylindrical dimension on the feature without a depth callout on it. Maybe I'm just not using it correctly?

Also, when you are in the dialog where you select the features that you wish to assign drafting parameters to, you may wish to try a different 'Template' (selected in the upper right-hand corner of the dialog).

Switching the template in the 'Feature Parameters' menu did what I wanted, ansi_mm put the depth on there so that is excatly what I wanted.
Thank you sir!
