NX9 - Body Coordinate Balloons

NX9 - Body Coordinate Balloons

NX9 - Body Coordinate Balloons

(OP)
In what is called the KBTD Tool Kit, we have something called Body Coordinate Balloons. You click the button, click on a point/center of circle, corner etc.. in the drafting view, and you can then click on the drawing to place a body balloon giving the coordinate in the X, Y or Z direction.

We find that when doing multiple balloons at one time, the second or third balloon we add will automatically give us a dog leg. Even if one is not needed.

Is there some setting that will turn this function off and only add a dog leg if you actually click on the dogleg function to add one?

RE: NX9 - Body Coordinate Balloons

Is this GM Toolkit related by any chance? I ask because that's a question more than likely aimed at a very specific user base.

Have you tried contacting the GM Helpdesk (GEES)?
