How to multiply dimensions ?
How to multiply dimensions ?
(OP)
For example, I have a 100*50*25 mm block and I want to do a drawing and each time I place a dimension, I want the dimension multiplied by 10 for example.
Is it possible with NX5?

RE: How to multiply dimensions ?
An alternative approach would be create your original design model, then create a scaled copy of this model using whatever your 'multiplication' factor was going to be and then make a drawing of THIS scaled-up copy. You have to do nothing special when you created your Drawing and the Drawing would still be associative, through the fact that the scaled-body is a feature created from the original, in that any change to the original will be reflected in the scaled-up model as well as your Drawing. This could all be done using WAVE links thus keeping the original model and scaled-up separate Part files and then create a Master Model drawing of the WAVE Linked part file. A bit clumsy, but it would accomplish what you're looking for.
