NX10 Feature Control Frame, Extension Line Trimming
(OP)
I'm inserting a feature control frame onto a vertical dimension and would like to place the FCF below the dimension. However when the FCF is placed the arrow lines do not trim to fit the FCF, as shown.
.
It should look like this:

Thank you!

If you use a true FCF, then you'll have to either change your Gap value (which I believe makes the gap larger/smaller on both sides of the dimension text) or insert a Gap symbol from the out of the box User-Defined Symbols onto the dimesion's extension line you wish to shorten. This is pretty much a blank symbol (nothing to see) and the downside is dealing with them if the FCF changes or gets removed & you try to remove them.
If that doesn't sound like what you want, then use Appended Text.
Simple as that, painful as it might be.

SDETERS: That is good to know. We are looking into transitioning into 3D PMI for some business units, that would be a problem.
