NX9 Drafting : Can no longer grab dimension if placed over the "solid area"

NX9 Drafting : Can no longer grab dimension if placed over the "solid area"

NX9 Drafting : Can no longer grab dimension if placed over the "solid area"

(OP)
If I place dimension over the "solid area" of the model.
It become really difficult to select it as the "infer" selection tool give a kind of priority to the solid model.
I have to wait for the "QuickPick" and select the dimension.
After that, I double clic and I'm able to change options but still can't drag it.
I can edit his position but it's far less conveniant.
(Yes, automatic positionning if turned "OFF" )

Any idea ?

If this problems seems to recur on a regular basis and if you get a hint of what might be causing it, or at least what you were doing before it started to happen, I would recommend that you contact GTAC and have them look at this.

OK. I'll try to be attentive when this weird behaviour happen again.
I've got the feeling it is linked to a new section view creation but not sure.
