NX 8.5 drafting
(OP)
It's possible to dimension diameter on section D480 (pic1), and thread (pic2) without using fake dimension. My thread symbol is constantly on the projection full circle, even when in customer defaults I change to 3/4 circle.







RE: NX 8.5 drafting
Not sure what your question is with the second issue. Are you trying to change the display of the threads? If so, that may be a part specific setting meaning only new parts will be affected by changing the customer defaults. You'll have to change that via the View Style/Settings dialog. Do not forget for a change in customer defaults to take effect, you must restart NX for it to take effect. If you're using a template, changing the customer defaults won't have an effect on the template file.

@Xwheelguy
Cylindrical dimension can't do this, it gives only dimension value between two points.
RE: NX 8.5 drafting
I beg to differ... it has always worked for me as long as the centerline is picked first and the edge of the cylinder second.

I tried that and it did work, except when the centerline is outside of section boundary.D302,1 is the true diametar.Thank you all very much.

and then you can reference it in drafting as your first pick without
going in and out of view dependent edit.

How can you create centerline under properties?
RE: NX 8.5 drafting
This is for NX8.5 and earlier. From NX9 and beyond it's a totally
different process using a "name selection" box and a few other different things of course.
