Composite FCF 1

[druzil69]

Using NX 8.5, I have been adding a lot of GD&T to recent drawings. Using the feature control frame button, is there a way to create a composite FCF with 2 different symbols or can that only be done in the text editor? It seems that using the button, both lines of the composite control frame get the same symbol.

I think, by definition, 'composite' control frames are just that, a single symbol with two sets of references. Otherwise just keep creating individual control frames and simply stake them up.

Well, apparently someone was listening to people like you who feel that they can use this sort of capability.

For NX 10.0, you'll be able to add additional 'frames' to an existing Composite Control symbol, as seen described below:
