how to make a chamfer a note

how to make a chamfer a note

(OP)
I would like to make a note in drafting that is parametric, easy to move and tells what the dimension of a chamfer is. I usually make a dimmesion, hide the leaders and attach a blank note arrow. The problem is that when I have to move the dimmension I have to also move the note. I also saw some people use an expression in the note, but if somebody re-associates it to something else the dimmension is still the same. I have nx5 and soon to be nx8. is there anyway of doing this?

NX 5.0 supports Chamfer Dimensions, as shown below:
