How is the Format for Hole Callout controlled in NX9? Need to get it to work with ASME standards.
(OP)
Now this issue has been bugging me for a couple of weeks since coming to NX9 - controlling the format of how the "hole callout" in Radial Dimension. Have dimensions coming in with the dimension line coming in below the Dimension. However to be ASME Y14.5-2009 complaint, need the line to be after the first line of the Dimension, like the rest of the dimensioning tools in NX9. Looked in Customer Defaults, found no options - looked at help, found no passages. Help!

To change existing ones, set the preference, you can the force the existing callouts to read the preference.
The setting also exists in the Customer Defaults, under the drawing standard. Pick the drawing standard to use, then customise it to change how you want the leader to work.
Attached video shows how to do the above.
Our Vimeo site has a a video: http://vimeo.com/107771848 that explains how the drafting standards are used and when they work/don't work as expected.
