How do you toggle the arrow head directing for a radius dimension, in/out

[jeff97070]

How do you toggle the arrowhead direction for a dimension like a radius so you can show the radius with the arrowhead inside the part pointing out or on the outside of the model pointing to the radius. Basically change the direction of the arrowhead.

When I use Pro-E it's very simple you highlight the dimension right mouse click on it and select from the shown list how you want the arrows to show.

NX is a pain in the @#$@$ to do the same thing compared to using the Pro-E drawing package.

But hey I'm trying.


Thank you,


Jeff

Right click the dimension and choose Style; on the Dimension tab there is a drop down for arrow placement (very top of the dialog). The options are: inferred (system makes a best guess), manual - arrows out, and manual - arrows in. Choose the style you want and press OK.

It's "as simple" as Pro/E, ( You can do it the way Cowski describes.)
See the attached image.
( Right click to see the popup whilst creating a dimension. Double click to edit an existing dimension, then Right click)

Tomas

Thanks for the tips, NX is new to me what takes me 20 minutes using Pro-E is taking 1 1/2 hours to get done in NX. To many menus and layers to dig through to find what I need, hey in a year I'm sure it will be easy.

If you have problems finding a command then use the Command Finder:
Help (pull-down) -> Command Finder
It is also on your Standard toolbar.

If you are unsure what the command is called in NX, then just enter what ProE called it, and it should be able to find it.
