Associative Dimension - Positive or Negative
Associative Dimension - Positive or Negative
(OP)
I hope this is an easy question. I'm running an analysis and have an associated dimension attached to the end of a shaft measured to a datum plane. As this shaft moves, it can end up on either side of this plane. I would like for the dimension to show as either a positive or negative number depending on what side it's on (see attached pic). Is there a way to make an associated dimension and capture if it's positive or negative when I export the results to a spreadsheet?
Similar question related to an angular dimension...is there a way to display positive/negative depending which side an angular dimension is related to a datum plane?

If you are using NX 9 or above, you might be able to make use of the "measure point" command (either by itself or in conjunction with other command(s)).
Determining +/- on an angular dimension will be more difficult...

So this isn't an "easy question?"
