    The ordinate command is giving me grief

    BOPdesigner: This is an option in NX5. I have long struggled with that same scenario. In NX5 you can set the ordinate to be "ALIGNED" while conventional dimensions can be "horizontal".

    You can also get them thru, www.pcs-company.com. They are a distributer for imold. They have a variety of sizes and seem like a nice product. I have only used them once, and they worked very well.

    NX4: Can't change crosshatching style.

    John: I asked for this a long time ago, (10 years or so), But is there anything in the works for defining x-hatching as a part or model attribute. I work with assemblies that use multiple materials. Having the hatching co-ordinate to the attributed material would be a nice enhancement.
