I can't send a part file but attached is a screen shot... I only want the 10º but almost always get the others. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=487fe2c0-39ba-4889-9e02-afc6b282f9b5&file=Creating_Angle_Dimensions_in_Drafting_(getting_the_wrong_one_99%_of_the_time).JPG

Does anyone remember this thread? All I want to do is create a 10º angle. Yet I get 170º or 350º or something.
Good news though! This feature carried over to NX9 and it seems worse!
But the truly awesome thing is I figured out its only because I didn't know how to use NX...
I think we'd need to ad a C datum though because it would not be a constant section view... and then stack that on top of what this shows. Basically we'd almost like to make a cavity for it to fit in...
I think this youtube video is dead on to what I am looking for, talking about. (Obviously modified to match our functional needs).

I have a highly complex design that twist, curves, etc.
Let's say its similar to this PC fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233112 but on a much larger scale.
Obviously you would want the blade to twist because that would effect airflow.
You would also not want it...
Ahh ok. I had something similar but kept getting 0 (else). I added "in" after the diameter value because it is inches. Now its working! Thanks! I just needed someone to help me know I wasn't losing my mind.
Ok, to some this is going to seem simple but its driving me nuts... (Yeah it was a short drive)
I am trying to simply do this in NX 7.5.
if diameter = ....then.... sta =
16.0 - 23.99 ....then.... 0.50
24.0 - 29.99 ....then.... 0.75
30.0 - 35.99 ....then.... 1.00
36.0 - 41.99 ....then...
Me like dem dar fancy numbers! Gollll-ee dair purrdy!
And yup, it's true we merican's be stuck in miles of our inches and horse powers but who came up with integrated circuits, Lasers, computers, laptops, Kevlar, Liquid Crystal Displays, Refrigerators, MRI's, Laser Eye Surgery, Video Games...
dgallup,
I've heard that a lot but some times it does not work out that way.
Take
+/-0.06in
[+/-1.5mm]
If we are inspecting it internally and the metric is in spec... Great!
But what if the customer's PPAP-er (I like to make up words) uses the metric values (assuming we did not call the...
Thanks for the standards reference. That is very interesting. I did not know both could be on the print like that. I assumed it was all or nothing (or dual dims)
The thing that really complicates things is not all are customers are requesting metric parts. Some still use English. Which...
Available Tooling / casting where the outer diameter can be turned down / the company is stuck with English tools but being moved in to a metric world.
