TFR-ISO View dimension

TFR-ISO View dimension

TFR-ISO View dimension

(OP)
Is there a way in NX7.5 to accuratley dimension a part in a TFR-ISO view?

RE: TFR-ISO View dimension

What you need to do is work in the expanded view, and then
orient your WCS to the plane that you want your dimension on.
You will dimension it in that expanded view, and the
dimension will be placed on the plane of the WCS.
The issue comes up that the dimension will need to be scaled
because of the drawing view scale (unless it is full scale) -
I place the dimension down and then scale it using "transform".

RE: TFR-ISO View dimension

Of course if you have PMI you could create those 'Isometric Dimensions' in a model (PMI) view and then simple add that view to the Drawing.

RE: TFR-ISO View dimension

Do you need PMI to do that?  I just enter the drafting app, turn off the drawing sheet, and manipulate the wcs, dimensioning away.  Before adding the view to the drawing, I make the dim.s model entities, switching them back to view dependent once the view is placed.  For any additional dimensions I use jerry1423's method.  So many ways to do things...

RE: TFR-ISO View dimension

Yea, that's a sort of poor-mans PMI, but all of those steps can be avoided using PMI, which is being included in many of the NX MACH bundles now being sold so you might actually have this capability and never really knew it.
