PMI General Notes (Non Rotating)
PMI General Notes (Non Rotating)
(OP)
Does anyone know how you can place a non moving PMI note(s) within a model, so as to follow the rules of ASME Y14.41-2012 (Digital Product Definition Data Practices)
Section: 8.2.1 Notes Area Annotation Plane
When general notes, flag notes, and special notations are placed in a model, they shall be placed on a single annotation plane or use a similar method. When displayed, these notes shall not rotate.

This interpretation makes sense for notes that do not apply to any specific view or orientation, similar to a 2D drawing layout with general notes.
Unfortunately I can't find a way to make this interpretation of fixed to screen or flat to screen happen using the PMI function in NX.

Several CAD software companies feel the same way and state it even in their help files.
Just as Solidworks does here:

Along with PTC Creo.

Some are looking for work arounds like using separate notes list files and storing them as PDF's but that's a bandaid for a software suite that fails to follow the industry standard.

"Development confirmed that NX does not yet have this ability.
There is an existing ER 6555315 in the system to track this request.
I was told that work on this is ongoing, but no delivery version was given."
