I am trying to create a linear dimension to a gage point, however since the part is oriented at an angle, I am unable to get the dimension to go in the correct direction. See the attached picture. The black lines are the dimension that I would like to put in. Any tips on how to do this?

I'm having an issue attaching a leader line to a center line in NX8.5 drafting. I can only select certain points on a part. I've ensured all the selection filters are turned on. Other colleagues are able to attach it to the center line, so I'm guessing that there is some setting that is not...
This is a bit of a generic question, but I'm wondering if anyone has developed some best practices for putting in edge blends in NX. I'm using NX 8.5.
I'm asking because it seems that putting in blends is the most finnicky part of creating a model. For example, in creating a complicated...
I'm working in NX8 and having some trouble reattaching ID symbols when part geometry changes. With dimensions of course I can just right click and choose "edit associativity", then pick the new geometry and the dimension reattaches. However, with ID symbols it seems I have to recreate the...
I am wondering if there is a way to hang a datum off of a curved surface. See attached picture which shows what I want to do. I was able to accomplish the view in the picture by going into active sketch view, zooming in on the tangent point of the curve and putting in a tiny line that I could...
When opening an assembly, several sub assemblies/components show up as modified immediately. Most of these are released in teamcenter, so I couldn't save them even if I wanted to.
I found this post from a few years ago that basically implies that there are many reasons that this could happen...
I'm having an issue creating a sweep.
The attached prt file should show the issue I'm having. When trying to accompish the sweep in 1 step, the section flattens out around the bend as shown by Swept (8). If doing in 2 steps (Swept (9) and Swept (10)), it comes out correct but wondering if...
When loading a fairly large assembly (~1000 components) I noticed in the status bar that a majority of the load time is consumed by updating components. I loaded a bookmark that I had saved yesterday at the end of the day and since then some of the components in the assembly had changes made to...
I'm just starting to mess around with creating component groups in order to make large assemblies more manageable.
I have an assembly that has about 1500 fasteners in it, so I had the idea to create a component group of all fasteners so that I can toggle them on and off all at once. I also...
I am looking into using bookmarks, but I have some questions about how they work.
1. I'm using NX8 and TC8. When I save a bookmark, it looks like the only option is to save a .plmxml file to my local drive. Is there an option to save the bookmark within teamcenter?
2. What happens in the case...
I'm looking for some tips to help load large assemblies quicker. I realize large is relative, I'm talking in the 500-750 component range.
I need to be able to load an assembly of this size to display at meetings. I use the load options and select the lightweight representations which helps...
I'm trying to understand how reference sets work when you have many sub assemblies. Specifically I'm wondering how the save behavior is set to work. I can't think of a good way to explain this without everything getting very confusing, so I'm going to try to spell out an example and hope you...
I'm just wondering what is the recommended method of showing alternate configurations or positions of a component. For example, if I have a seal that has a free state and the installed (compressed) state, how would it be best to have both the free state model available to create the drawing and...
I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble with this, but for some reason I cannot edit a studio spline and add new points into the middoe of it. As a simple example, lets say I have 2 lines that I connect the endpoints of each with a studio spline. So in my dialog box, the list of points...
Sorry if this question has been asked before. I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find an answer.
My problem is that when I put in a dimension in drafting (I'm running NX8), it infers which side the leader is on. If I want to change it to make my dimensions fit better, I right click...
Hi, I have hopefully a simple question someone can answer. I am running NX8 (though I've had this issue in previous versions of NX also), and whenever I wave link a geometry feature into a part, it automatically becomes part of the "model" reference set for that part. Is there a preference...
I am running NX8 and I am trying to position a sketch line at an angle off of a face of a cylinder (see attached). I went into the style menu of the view and under the general tab changed the extracted edges option to associative. I can grab the edge of the cylinder shown in the view and use a...
