Issue with Tolerance in Angular Dimension

Issue with Tolerance in Angular Dimension

Issue with Tolerance in Angular Dimension

(OP)
This Doubt seems to be silly.3eyes
I need to reduce the gap(highlighted in blue) between angle and the tolerance value.
I tried altering Dimension and Tolerance text parameters but no results.mad

NX9
Thanks.

RE: Issue with Tolerance in Angular Dimension

Could the gap be caused by the superscript degree character that is 'reserving' a full character width in the spacing?
Does NX use a degree symbol from a font file for that character?

RE: Issue with Tolerance in Angular Dimension

In NX9 Drafting Preferences under the Dimension / Text / Tolerance there is a setting called "Text Gap Factor"

Is this one of the settings you tried?

Yes Kenja I tried.

Still, there is a gap..sadeyes

RE: Issue with Tolerance in Angular Dimension

It's because of the font you are using. Kanji by default produces a larger gap after the dimension text. Not sure exactly why, something to do with the way the font is formatted.

Try Kanji2 for a similar looking font with a smaller gap. Let us know if that works you for. It works on my end. This is the case for many of the font sets, some have a larger gap, some are closer.

Also the text gap factor changes the gap from letter->letter in a word, so won't help you here.
