nx9 drafting

nx9 drafting

(OP)
i'm setting my toolbars with my regular buttons.... what happened to "edit dimension associativity" even command finder doesn't find it?

RE: nx9 drafting

(OP)
also i'm missing dimension types, such as diameter, cylindrical, point to point, chamfer,......Do I need to turn on "show full menu's somewhere or something?

RE: nx9 drafting

(OP)
Thanks Toost.
I've pretty much decided not to use the ribbon bars, since they seem to be aimed squarely at single screen layouts with limited space..
As such, I'm putting all my common commands out on the toolbars for quick access....

I can't seem to get these extra dimension options out from the rapid dimension dialog box.
In customize I can't find how to get to them to drag out onto a toolbar, can someone help find a way?

Also someone else asked, but it wasn't resolved.....
how do you swop arrows between inside and outside, as well as turn off leaders and arrows?

I see they haven't fixed... the section line disappearing when you section from a broken view

RE: nx9 drafting

I wonder why you can't see the other types, if I hold the cursor still momentarily when placing the dimension, then the little iconbar shows up, and if i RMB whilst placing the popup shows up .( both in the same picture)


I have not tried the disappearing section line.

Tomas

RE: nx9 drafting

Now I understand what it is you are saying, "also i'm missing dimension types, such as diameter, cylindrical, point to point, chamfer".
This is because in NX9 the new "rapid dimensioning thing", the total number of dimension types has been reduced and what in earlier versions was different types of dimensions has now become "options" of the rapid dimension. ( actually what the images I posted shows)
i.e in NX6 a "Horizontal dimension" was always a "horizontal dimension" and could never become a point to point or other type, in NX9 a "rapid dimension" can change between the different types, from Horizontal to "point to point" to angular to diameter etc

IF there is a "rapid" way of getting shortcuts to the different "options" is unknown.


Regards,
Tomas
