Dimensions do not fail ever... 1

[mousepotato]

Hi,

In one of our customer drawings, we had about 25 dimensions associated with different features. We noticed that while many features have shifted positions, the dimensions did not fail at all. Instead of broken dimensions, they still show up as intact dimensions.

Any settings to resolve this or am I missing anything?

Running Nx 9.0 on Win 7 and TCE 10

Thanks in advance..

It's not an issue of the dimension 'failing', it's an issue of the system NOT indicating that it's lost its references yet was still 'retained'.

To see what the settings are for your particular part file, open the file and go to Drafting Preferences and use the 'find' function to find the 'Retain' settings (you should find them under 'General/Setup', check to see if the 'Format' options are all set to 'Original'. If they are even though the dimension has, what you described as 'failing' they will not have changed their appearance. Note that these settings are set and saved on a per part basis meaning that even if your Customer Defaults are set correctly, so that they chance appearance (color/font/width), it only effects new part files created after the Customer Defaults have been set.
