NX 7.5 Sketch problem
(OP)
Has anyone had a problem where the sketch dimensions blow up like in the attached pic? If so is there a way to fix it?

RE: NX 7.5 Sketch problem
the option is located in 3 spots. this is because preferences and defaults and style are all different. I will explain.
Customer Defaults are from the Next session of NX on. (meaning you have to close out of NX adn reopen to see those changes.) they also dont affect sketches that were already created.
To Adjust it from the next session on.
File>Utilities>Customer Defaults> Sketch> General, then go to the Sketch Style Tab.
Preferences work from this point forward in the Current Session.
to adjust the option in Preferences,
Preferences>Sketch, Sketch Style Tab
and then there is Style. This is for the Current Sketch only.
With in the Sketch in Task Enviroment, Go to:
Task>Sketch Style
If this wasn't the issue with the sketch let me know.

RE: NX 7.5 Sketch problem
Thanks for the quick response. That was not the issue. The sketch was fine till I changed one of the dimensions.
Attached is the file that I am having the issues with.
RE: NX 7.5 Sketch problem
What version of NX are you running, and do you happen to have a copy of the file pre Dimenssion blow up?
RE: NX 7.5 Sketch problem
And for JoeBrock, once you open a part file you can check the version that the file was created in by going to...
Information -> Part -> Part History...
...and look at the second line from the top of the list as this will show what version the part file was last saved in.

RE: NX 7.5 Sketch problem
The sketches and datum CSYS where exported from an existing file.
RE: NX 7.5 Sketch problem
Is it possible to go back to the original file and redo the Export task? And if you can recall the first time this was done, was the 'Specify Exported Position' option toggled ON in the Export Part dialog? If so, could try this again only don't use this option and just let the sketch end-up where the system wants to put it. If you need to move it your can use the 'Reattach Sketch' function to move the sketch to a different plane or face reference.

RE: NX 7.5 Sketch problem
I'm not sure what happened when I originally exported the sketch into the file. I can now export the sketches with the 'Specify Exported Position' toggled ON or OFF and not duplicate what happened before.
