NX7.5 Dimension Extension Line Not Attaching Properly...
NX7.5 Dimension Extension Line Not Attaching Properly...
(OP)
We use NX7.5.4.4 on Dell workstations and have within the last two weeks noticed the dimension extension line attachment point working differently.
This issue occurs when placing a standard or ordinate dimension between two center marks. The dimension extension line will either attach to the center mark center cross or extension. We would prefer it attaching to the center mark Extension with the gap.
The center mark is set as: Gap = 0.060; Center Cross = 0.125; Extension = 0.125
Our Annotation Preference Line/Arrow is set to: H = 0.080; J = 0.080
Thanks in advance for helping us with this issue.

Is it possible for you to upload a simple example which exhibits this behavior?

From looking at the various dimensions, particularly the largest vertical dimension on the right side where you are referencing both an edge and a center mark, it still looks like it's possible that the arc was selected and not the center mark itself. It's strange since almost the same vertical dimensions on the left side are fine. And then there's the pair of horizontal dimensions on the bottom, one looks OK but not the other.

I just tried deleting the center marks and dimensions and when I recreated the detail the dimension extension lines did the same thing.
On a side note when I attempt to re-associate the dimension extension line and select the end at the center mark it displays the current connection point as the end of the center mark as you would expect.
I just tried to add a brand new view and it acted the same way.

Try the update to NX7.5.5 and see if that fixes the issue.
