Add Parametric Dimension to Existing Dimension
Add Parametric Dimension to Existing Dimension
(OP)
Hi All,
I am new to NX 8.5 and am learning the ropes with drafting, having come from mostly a Creo/ProE background. Is there a way in NX to insert a dimension parametrically beside an existing dimension? As an example, if an ordinate dimension is created showing the horizontal distance to a diameter, can I add text into the ordinate dimension that will associatively pull the diameter dimension at that point, so the diameter dimension will be beside the length dimension?
Thanks!

RE: Add Parametric Dimension to Existing Dimension
But dimension is not have any attribute propertties to add. you can only able to link it Only if you have the required Dimension in formula ie: Expression
In dimension toolbar click "A" symbol(TEXT) which opens text editor in that go to Relationships select Expression Add your related expression which you want show in DWG, Remember u should create the repected
Expression in Modeling and link to the part for exmple if u need a hole dia create a formula Dia = 100 in sketch or hole dimension u can link this to the feature u want to create then call it back in DWg.

Thanks very much! By creating associative dimensions within the model and calling them out using the dimension toolbar as you suggested, that gives me exactly what I needed.
