Internal Sketcher for Holes- new point created upon editing dimension, NX9
Internal Sketcher for Holes- new point created upon editing dimension, NX9
(OP)
Hi all
i am using NX9 and have found that when i use the Sketcher inside of the hole command with continuous auto dimensioning set to on i will get a point created- this is not the issue. when i double click the dimension to edit its position i get a brand new point created! why? is there a setting that i have missed to turn this on or off?

i am currently running 9.0.2.5
i have attached a movie showing this example. i have been using NX/Unigraphics since v15 and have not seen this before. this is the first time i'm using NX9 so i know there are a lot of new changes so maybe this is one i missed!

one more thing, you will notice that i did not edit the auto dimension dimension, i created a new dimension, this should delete the auto dimension and create a dimension that has an expression attached, as in NX8.5 and previous version.

Now that we've got that out of the way, make sure that you've started to use 'Inferred' for your point option, but when you go to create your hole(s), try NOT selecting the 'Sketch Section' icon from the Hole dialog but rather just pick the face that you wish to place the hole, near where you want the hole to be. This way you'll automatically be placed in the Sketch task AND your first Point will have already been created. This will save you several button clicks/icon selections. In fact, if you're only going to place a single hole and you don't mess with the dimensions, it only takes TWO button pushes, 'Specify Point' (AKA Select Face) and 'Finish' Sketch, versus FIVE using your workflow.
