(OP)
Is it possible to do auto ordinate dimensioning in NX6.0 as one can do in ProE? Thank you!

RE: NX6.0 auto ordinate dimensioning
If you look at the image below, here's an example where all I had to do after placing the view on the drawing, was to define the 'origin' (the 0,0 point), which was a single screen pick, for the Ordinate Dimension Set, define the 'margins' so as to limit the extension of the Dimensions, again requiring only a single pick. Now all I had to do was 'area select' using the cursor, the arc center points, and hit OK:

I think that's about as 'automatic' as one would expect it to be.

RE: NX6.0 auto ordinate dimensioning
I'm having trouble getting this technique to work. But first, the files I'm wanting to use this technique on already have a ordinate dimension origin in them which was there when it was saved to be a template. Can some one tell me how to delete this origin? I want to remove it from this template.

Thanks,

RE: NX6.0 auto ordinate dimensioning
Now to the original subject of this thread & probably another dumb question. Once I've set the origin & the margins I can't figure out how to area select the objects. I left click, hold & drag but my cursor has the red crossed circle no symbol & no selection box is created by the drag. What am I doing wrong?
