Hole Callout doesn't translate out to DXF or DWG: NX9

Hole Callout doesn't translate out to DXF or DWG: NX9

You get the leader but no text. I can live with it but if any one has the answer in their pocket please share! Except for this issue the translator is about perfect.

Very annoying...

TIA for any help

RE: Hole Callout doesn't translate out to DXF or DWG: NX9

Are we talking about the old hole callouts created using the 'Feature Parameters' function or the new (NX 9.0) hole callouts using the Radial Dimension function?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

The new radial one... the old one worked descent in 8.5.

Please contact GTAC immediately and have them open a PR.

Thanks John, will do.

RE: Hole Callout doesn't translate out to DXF or DWG: NX9

Have you tried doing a 'round-trip' test, going from NX -> DXF (or DWG) -> NX?

RE: Hole Callout doesn't translate out to DXF or DWG: NX9

OK, I've just verified that this problem only occurs in NX 9.0.0.19. When I tested this in NX 9.0.1.3, doing a 'round-trip' NX -> DXF (and DWG) -> NX, the Hole Callouts came through just fine. You can still go ahead and contact GTAC if you wish as there might be an MP that has been issued to address this.

I'll just run the update. Already downloaded from the GTAC site.

Thanks John
