RE: where is nx6 sketch retain dimensions in nx8.5

The 'Retain Dimension' function has been replaced with the 'Display as PMI' option that you get when you select a sketch dimension and press MB3. Note that this is a toggle so that you can turn this behavior ON/OFF on a per dimensions basis. And before you ask, NO, you do NOT need a PMI license to use this feature.

As for getting rid of the temporary display of dimensions when using the 'Show Dimension' function, simply do a 'Refresh' or press the F5 key.

Hi John

Thank you

their is a small change (or may be I wrong)

In NX6 when choosing retain dimensions and exit, the dimensions are displayed, as they
wase in the sketch environment, for example with the parameter names or without them
And in nx8.5 (PMI) always just dimensions values.

I'm Vary Thank you
