Show Coordinate system with x, y, z axis annotation on drawing

Show Coordinate system with x, y, z axis annotation on drawing

Show Coordinate system with x, y, z axis annotation on drawing

(OP)
Hello everybody,

I want to show the Coordinate System on the drawing with axis annotation.
I can see the coordinate System on the drawing, but when I make a PDF File from it, the axis annotation with x,y,z is not shown. Is there any possibility?

Or do I have to create a custom symbel for this issue?

Thanks

RE: Show Coordinate system with x, y, z axis annotation on drawing

While the Axis and Planes of the CSYS will show-up on a PDF, the X,Y,Z annotation will not. However, if you were to first create a normal WCS object, hide the CSYS object and then export your PDF, now the Axis AND X,Y,Z annotation will show-up on your PDF.

Make sure that you're creating a WCS and NOT a CSYS. What version of NX are you running?

Ah I have it =)
I have to use Format-> WCS-> Save!
A WCS is at the beginning in the part.
But after user the save function, a green little WCs will be created =)
Thanks, it works!
