Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

(OP)
Good afternoon,

I am using NX7.5 and drafting in the same file as the model. I want to add equidistant dimensions / symbols to 2 points either side of a centreline.
Can anyone tell me how to do this please? I can add 2 dimensions which have the same value, but how do I add the '=' sign strikethrough the dimension line?

(did that make ANY sense ?!?)

Any help is gratefully received.
I am sure the help documention would tell me this however I do not have the luxury of it being installed on my machine.

Cheers,

Rich.

RE: Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

Is it possible to post a pic of what you want the dimension to look like?

RE: Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

It would also be helpful to know what drafting standard you are working with.

RE: Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

Easy one: select the 2 entities for your single dimension then, while still in dimensionning, hit the arrow-left key: you'll have access to a small on-screen input window where you can type "=" then hit Enter; hit then the left arrow and do the same. You should now see 2 "=" signs before and after your dimension. Place your dimension. Done.

RE: Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

If u want only = sign but no dimensions you have to use Edit Appeneded text option and put = in place of dimension

or else the above mentioned method will work fine

Nx 7.5.5.4

RE: Drafting - Equidistant dimensioning symbol

You can make the dimensions reference by placing them between brackets like (d1) then appended text before and fill in $h then press enter. Now you will have something like this // (d1).

Best regards,

Michaël.
