NX7.5 - Breaks in dimension extension lines

NX7.5 - Breaks in dimension extension lines

(OP)
Hi,

What are the (design) rules that should be followed when we create breaks in dimension extension line?
1.Breaks created between 2 dimension lines that intersect each other?
2.Breaks created between one dimension line and other objects?

Thanks!

RE: NX7.5 - Breaks in dimension extension lines

Here are the instructions on how to add the gaps to the extension lines:

As far as "rules" go that should be followed . . .
There really isn't any such thing in any drafting standard.

Thanks, Jerry,
I know how to create gaps.
I was interested in the rule that manage this operation.
Regards!

RE: NX7.5 - Breaks in dimension extension lines

One more thing . . .
If you add a gap and want to remove it some other time - What you will need to do is turn that extension line "off" and then back "on".

RE: NX7.5 - Breaks in dimension extension lines

Another way to remove the gap, or even reposition it is whilst in drafting, click Edit --> Component --> Delete Component or Move Component and then click the gap.

Best regards

and another thing . . .
You can easily change the size of the gap, by changing its length.
Where it says Define Symbol Size By, you need to change that to Length and Height, and then change the length value
