NX 7.5 define geometric tolerance with extension lines 1

[castillor]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use extension lines with a geometric tolerance definition in NX on its own without attaching it to a dimension? Thank you.

Regards,
Raymond

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

In the Leader pull-down choose "Flag" instead of "Plain"
The same thing applies when you use the "finish symbol" menu.

John: Did you post an illustration? I can't see it.

Jerry: I tried using a flag but it only has one side of the extension line.

It is supposed to look like the one drawn in the attached picture.

Thank you again.

Showing it without the size dimension is a bit tricky - and not really to standard, so that's why it's not supported in NX.

Your system admin is probably blocking images sourced from 'Photobucket', the archive service I use for image and video files. I've known some other companies which have done this as well, why I don't really know. I've used 'Photobucket' for years (I actually have two accounts, one for work and one for personal so that they never get mixed up or cross referenced) and have never had any problems or been accused of linking inappropriate material. Siemens allows access and they can be pretty draconian at times in what they consider as being 'appropriate content' or not.

Jerry: I see, so it's not supported in NX.

John: I tried accessing it at home and I can see it. As indicated in the picture that I posted I need something with two extension lines. Jerry already said that it is not supported in NX.

Thank you both for helping.
