NX9: Edit appended Text
(OP)
Hi Guys,
In NX8.5 we had the procedure to change from a dimension the value and change it to a letter which was then referred to in a table (Tabulated drawings)
Procedure for this was to;
Is this as designed? If so, any other suggestions onhow to accomplish this? New functionality which we are not aware of?

Procedure for this was to;
- Rightclick on dimension
- select "edit appended text"
- select dimension value (it appears in text field of edit appended text menu)
- Substitute dimension value for Letter (system gives a warning you are about to change it, select ok)
Is this as designed? If so, any other suggestions onhow to accomplish this? New functionality which we are not aware of?

In NX 9.0 procedure is:
1. Select dimension
2. RMB - Settings
3. Text - Format
4. Override Dimension Text
5. Click Icon "A"
6. Change text.
Best regards

Works fine, but a more cumbersome way of working...

The cool thing is that one can revert back and forth by the steps that MANox describes.

True dat. I'm not sure if the above quote was in response to my comment; but if so, I'd just like to clarify:
My previous comment was for anyone looking to convert a manual text dimension back to automatic text in NX 8.5 or lower. I don't remember offhand, but I don't think there is a checkbox option in the settings for it like there is now in NX 9. I kind of stumbled across the "convert to automatic" option when working in NX 7.5 (or maybe it was 8). I thought there must be a way to convert a dimension back to automatic text, but the method wasn't as obvious before NX 9 (not as obvious to me, at least).
