Controlling visibility of Associative Dimensions in NX Modelling

Controlling visibility of Associative Dimensions in NX Modelling

Controlling visibility of Associative Dimensions in NX Modelling

(OP)
Hi All,

I have searched through the forums but not come across anything that seems remotely like this.

In NX 7.5 Modelling, I am measuring between two points for example but I check Associative under Associative Measure and Checking option.
Also under Results Display, Annotation I select Show Dimension.

In the Part Navigator you can even turn on the associative dimension by highlighting the measurement and selecting Show Dimension on MB3 popup.

The problem is that I have not found method to toggle the dimension off and hiding it hides the complete model...??

Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to do this?

The only way I found I can do this though it seems a bit extreme to hide a dimension is to use Supress By Expression and toggle it to 0.

Any thoughts or solutions to this puzzle greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Tetragrammaton :)

A screen refresh will make them go away (press F5 or right-click in the graphics window -> refresh).

Hi Cowski,

Thanks, I have no idea why they did not 'seem' to go away previously.
