Datum Coordinate System Display NX7.5 3

[jerry1423]

I am working on a very large part, so the Datum Coordinate System appears very small.
When I zoom into the Datum Coordinate System it stays the same size relative to the screen.
Is there any way I can zoom into the Datum Coordinate System and it will get bigger as I get closer to it ?

I am on NX7.5

On Calibration, play with the Horizontal and Vertical cursors on your convenience.
Hit OK!

Sorry, but the Datum CSYS is not treated as a geometric object which is part of the model but rather as a 'symbolic' representation. Therefore it remains a fixed size relative to the display window.

However, that being said, you CAN edit the displayed SIZE of any specific CSYS object by selecting it, pressing MB3, select the 'Edit Parameters...' option and in the 'Settings' section of the dialog, change 'Scale Factor' value. Now all this does is change the relative size, it will still remain fixed as you zoom in and out, but at least temporarily you could use this to make your CSYS easier to manage when working in your large assembly and then set it back to it's original size later when it's not an issue any more.

If you edit its parameters, you can change the scale factor to make it larger or smaller on screen; but I don't think there is an option to turn off the "constant size on screen" property.

While what mz7dyj described will change the displayed size of the Datum CSYS, it will also change the size of ALL non-geometric objects used by NX and which appears in the display window, including such things as Points, Splats (*), Cone Heads, etc. What I suggested will only apply to the specific Datum CSYS selected.
