Creating Angle Dimensions in Drafting (getting the wrong one 99% of the time)
(OP)
thread561-254126: Dumb Question - What method determines what angels I am measuring?
Does anyone remember this thread? All I want to do is create a 10º angle. Yet I get 170º or 350º or something.
Good news though! This feature carried over to NX9 and it seems worse!
But the truly awesome thing is I figured out its only because I didn't know how to use NX right. It's not how you select it, draw it, vectors, etc... I just wasn't aware that the official way to get the 10º angle is to select the objects and then zoom out until you cannot see the drawing anymore. Then drag your dimension as far up as possible and like magic its at 10º!
All this time I was complaining and even dawgging NX in my head (although NX is by far my favorite package) thinking it was the program's fault... who knew I just needed more training!?
Anyone else still seeing this?
But seriously, is this a text size bug? Or wouldn't modifying the alternative angle button and having it select all the different possible solutions be an "easy fix"?
Thanks,
