Flippin' Angles ; )

Flippin' Angles ; )

(OP)
Hi all,

Since we updated from NX4 to NX7.5 drawings in our system have had some of the angles flipped, ie a 20deg angle will now be 160deg. I see this mostly on hole centerlines dimentioned fron section lines.

Any one else had this issue? is there a fix?

Cheers,
Rich

Hi.

We had the same issue when we refiled from NX4 to NX6. The "bug" is in the versioning in Drafting preferences.
"Version Up all Drafting Objects and Memberviews" (not exactly sure about this exact name because I have NX8.5 now) will cause this behaviour.
You should disable that (customer defaults or env file) or set the filters to exclude Angular dimensions.
