Rotating Perpendicular or Parallel dimensions i.e. value of F in arrow styles NX 7.5
Rotating Perpendicular or Parallel dimensions i.e. value of F in arrow styles NX 7.5
(OP)
Hi,
I need to rotate arrow lines of a dimension to a particular angle.
I can do this for horizontal or vertical dimensions by changing the value of F in Annotation style/ Line/Arrow. But problem comes when I have to do this for parallel or perpendicular dimensions.
I am using NX 7.5.3.
Please Help!
Regards,
Ishant

I understood.
Thanks,

outline. See para. 1.7.8. On 2D orthographic drawings, extension lines start with a short visible gap from the outline of the part and extend beyond the outermost related dimension line. See Fig. 1-8. Extension lines are drawn perpendicular to dimension lines. Where space is limited, extension lines may be drawn at an oblique angle to clearly illustrate where they apply. Where oblique lines are used, the dimension lines are shown in the direction in which they apply. See Fig. 1-10."
While the examples given only show horizontal or vertical dimensions, the text does not limit it to those. Since extension lines at odd angles are often used depending on the feature they are defining, oblique dimensions at an angle are allowable under the standard (as long as the dimension line is in the direction in which it applies).
Call it an extension of principal.

I heartily recommend that anyone that does use such dimensions do as John suggests and submit an IR.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?
