NX 10 - "The appended text size must be greater than zero" under sketch in modeling

NX 10 - "The appended text size must be greater than zero" under sketch in modeling

Hi Everyone.

We have a library of components, some of them were created with previous version of NX.

These are standard components that we can buy, but sometimes we use them as a starting point and then we modify a few dimension to get custom compoenents. Since NX9 and now NX10 we keep getting the same message "The appended text size must be greater than zero".
Everytime we need to modify a dimension we have to go:
  • Right click
  • Settings
  • Text
  • Tolerance Text
  • Change value of "Height" from "0" to "1"
This procedure is for every single dimension we have in the compoent. I was wondering if there is way to avoid this and fix the dimension in one shot. In the past 5 years we took the time to re-draw all this purchase items in NX to be able to use them and be more afficient and now is taking us more time going thru this process.

I will appreciate any feedback, I don't want to throw away all the work we did with these items.

Thanks.

Hi!
Once you changed a dimension settings you're able to inherit them to every another dimension by double click on it and tap Select Dimension to Inherit.

Hi Lockdain

Thanks for your answer.

I tried what you mentioned, still no luck.

As soon as I get out of the sketch or even finish fixing one of the dimensions, I keep getting the same message "The appended text size must be greater than zero". And the value of the Height goes back to "0".

I'm still trying to find a solution, if I get anywhere I will post it on this forum.

Thanks again.
