Arrow out extension NX10

[safarrazi]

Hi all,

I am currently using NX 10 and stumbled across this problem in Drafting (refer attachment). I try to find settings inside Customer Default and all I can find is "Dimension Arrow Out Length Factor". But the settings didn't do any changes on the arrow out extension. I found this thread

but still I don't have any clue.

How can I change the arrow out extension?

Thanks,
Safar

Hi Safar,

I've been looking for a solution for this too and thus far there is no elegant way of doing this.

To start with, simply changing the Customer Defaults will have NO effect on existing Drawings, at least not automatically. After you've edited your Drafting Standard in Customer Defaults and saved it, and after restarting NX, when you open an existing Drawing and you would now like to have the new standard applied to it, go to...

Menu -> Tools -> Drafting Standard...

...and you select the desired standard and then any new dimensions added will now comply with whatever you had set in Customer Defaults.

Note that you can also go to...

Preferences -> Drafting -> General/Setup -> Workflow

...and in the section of the dialog titled 'Drawing', set the 'Settings Origination' to 'Drawing Standard' and that way, when you open future Drawings any new dimensions added will comply with whatever standard you last set in Customer Defaults. Otherwise it will use that standard that was in effect when the Drawing Templates were created and last saved.
