Issue with using Angular Dimension in NX 7.5

Issue with using Angular Dimension in NX 7.5

Issue with using Angular Dimension in NX 7.5

(OP)
Running into an issue with Angular Dimension Command in the Drafting Package of NX 7.5. As hopefully people can see from my attached JPG file, I want to make a dimension of what in red. However, the command is giving me anything but what I really need. Any suggestions?

(OP)
Sorry Jerry, read most of the previous threads and answers before posting my issue. Was hoping John or someone else would have a new answer, because I am at my wits' end. I really want this dimension to be parametric and not some kludge.

RE: Issue with using Angular Dimension in NX 7.5

In this case, it's back to the old rules for angular dimensions.
I.e You must select the upper, slanted, edge in the upper end, else NX attaches the extension to the lower tangent.
- Select above the midpoint of the edge and it should be correct.

I did try a similar case , the selection order which did matter in the "old rules" does not matter in NX7.5.
- the upper/ lower end of the edge does matter.


Regards,
Tomas
