Auto dimensions while sketching
Auto dimensions while sketching
(OP)
I was wondering if there is a way to force the auto dimensions while sketching to use the "Sketch Origin" instead of what seems to be the closest object?

I was asking because I didn't an area on the GTAC site for ERs, is that something I need to do over the phone?
Thanks

As for opening an ER, generally what happens is that an IR (Incident Report) is opened first and then it gets converted to an ER. And yes, you can do that over the phone if you wish.

While in the Sketch, go into the ‘Inferred Constraints and Dimensions’ dialog and reorder the rules so that ‘Create Dimensions to Reference Axes’ is at the top. Now the Auto Dimensions should be created to the Sketch origin.
Edit: If you want to make this a persistent change.
1. File->Utilities->Customer Defaults.
2. Expand ‘Sketch’.
3. Select ‘Inferred Constraints and Dimensions’.
4. Select the ‘Dimension’ tab.
5. Move ‘Create Dimensions to Reference Axes’ to the top.
6. OK the Customer Defaults dialog.
7. Re-start NX.
