Dimension Associativity NX7.5

Dimension Associativity NX7.5

Dimension Associativity NX7.5

(OP)
When dimensioning a Counterbore hole, is there a way that all the dimensions can be associative in one note rather than have to dimension in three seperate places?
Note example consist of : 2 HOLES DIA. 9 CBORE DIA. 20 X 25 DEEP
This note would be associative to the DIA. 9 but no the DIA.20 or the depth.
This is important for updating drawings so that notes update with the change in through hole, counterbore hole and counterbore depth.

Have you tried using...

Insert -> Dimension -> Feature Parameters...

...?

RE: Dimension Associativity NX7.5

Or, if you like things a little more convoluted, you can place the first dimension and use appended text -> Expression -> Link to Part and choose the expression(s) used in the feature creation in the appended text.
Depending on how the feature was created, John's suggestion is the better one to use.

RE: Dimension Associativity NX7.5

(OP)
I have tried inserting feature parameters, however after i have chosen the feature and the view it fails to put any information on teh drawing. It just closes the Feature parameters Window.
Any more direction? If possible a video on how it is done would be great.

Thanks
