Changing line weight of text in dimensions NX 9.1
Changing line weight of text in dimensions NX 9.1
(OP)
I have searched the forums for this particular question and having not found anything I can only assume the answer is simple, blatant, and right in front of my nose.
I am working on a drawing created in NX 7.5. In which the text on the dimension was set to the medium weight. It was simple and the choices for line weight, light, medium and heavy, were available quickly and simply in the dialogue containing the other text options.
In NX 9.1 I have found the same dialogue, but not reference to the line weight. Under Drafting Preferences there is an option for Annotation but these options are not changing the text in the dimensions.
If someone could direct me to the location where these line weights can be altered I'd gratefully appreciate it.
Thanks

Text -> Dimension Text
...and in the same line where you set the color and font, there is an option for the style.
Of course if you prefer 'Bold' style for all of your dimensions then you should set this up in your Drafting Preferences before you start to place your dimensions, but if you're just interested is changing a few dimensions, then my procedure above will work for you.
