NX - Linking text to a dimension
NX - Linking text to a dimension
(OP)
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to link a dimension to the text feature in NX either using the pnumber, with an expression, with attributes or another way so when the dimension changes the text (insert > curve > text), updates to show the new dimension.
I have a load of parts with incremental changes to 1 dimension which i need to identify with ease.
Any help on this would be really appeciated
Thanks
Chris

As for Attributes, when you're in the 'Relationship' option you'll also see icons for inserting 'Object' and 'Part Attributes' as well.

Is there any way of doing this in modelling? The text in on the side of the part, I'm gotting many parts made and need to identify them quickly?
Thank you

Insert -> Curve -> Text...
...but it wasn't until NX 7.5 that you could associatively link this text to the value of an expression.
