Surface Finish Symbol not rotating

Surface Finish Symbol not rotating

Surface Finish Symbol not rotating

(OP)
Hello

It seems that I do not know how to turn this symbol. The symbol can be rotated as long as is not associated with something. But soon is associated, behaves according to some different rules. How can I set this correctly.

Please see attached image

Regards

What version of NX are you running?

NX 7.5...

RE: Surface Finish Symbol not rotating

OK, I'm running NX 7.5.5.1 (Phase 1 of the next NX 7.5 Maintenance Release, which will be available before the end of the year) and it seems to work fine for me.  I've attached an AVI which shows a view being moved to show that the symbol was truly attached to an extension line.

RE: Surface Finish Symbol not rotating

is it true that nx is not very good when it comes to drafting, at least when compared with SE, SW, catia....?

RE: Surface Finish Symbol not rotating

But it's getting much better (there are 33 specific Drafting enhancements sited in the NX 8.0 'What's New' guide, and more will be in upcoming MR's).
