Hi all,

How can I create a fake dimension (overwrite the actual value) in NX 8.0?

Thanks!

If you would look one page down in the history of posts, you would have seen the post "Fake Dimension",
which contains the answer on both how to fake and back.

RE: How to create fake dimensions in NX 8.0

Make sure you are in drafting mode. Start ---> Drafting. Its definitely there in NX8.

RE: How to create fake dimensions in NX 8.0

It may be hidden in the role you are using. Try using the command finder to search for "edit text"; click the one that refers to Edit -> Annotation -> Text.
