NX 9 drafting question

NX 9 drafting question

NX 9 drafting question

(OP)
When I create a vertical/horizontal dimension, it will automaically center the dimension. Unless I add upper/lower or right/left text to the dimension, I can't seem to find a method of pulling the dimension out of being automatically centered. In the last version, it was easily done thru the dimension style editor. How is it done in 9?

RE: NX 9 drafting question

Right click dimension and choose 'settings'; in the line/arrow -> arrowhead -> workflow section turn on/off the 'automatic orientation' option.

Thanks!

RE: NX 9 drafting question

What if I want to change it in my customer defaults->drafting->customize standard??

RE: NX 9 drafting question

In our Customer Defaults, I go to Drafting - Annotation --- then click the "Dimensions" tab. At the top of that is a drop down that looks like the old version setting. The hand symhbol allows you to manually place dimensions.

Hope thats what you are looking for.
