Section View Orientation & Manual Dimensions
Section View Orientation & Manual Dimensions
(OP)
I am on UG NX 7.5
First, I have a section view that I want the orientation of the view itself to be horizontal while the section plane is along an axis that is not horizontal or vertical. I thought this was standard drafting practice but I cannot figure out how to do it in NX.
Next, I cannot figure out how to do a manual dimension (overwrite). I have tried Edit -> Annotation -> Text but it just appends it to the existing dimension and does not replace. You have a choice to put it before, after, on top, on bottom.... The initial dimension always remains.
Thanks!

For the dimension Edit -> annotation -> text is correct, then pick the dimension and the value should show up in the text input box. Delete this value (a warning message will appear at this point) and enter your desired text and press OK.
