NX 9 Rotating Dimension & Appended Text 1

[Kapalkal]

I am trying to add some text to a dimension that I rotated by 90 degrees. I know I was able to do this in previous versions of UG NX, but now whenever I try to add some appended text, it automatically rotates the dimension back to its default location. I can not find any way to modify the rotational angle with appended text added to it. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? I have tried it with Perpendicular-Linear, Inferred-Linear and Horizontal-Linear. None of them seem to make a difference.

You can see what I'm talking about below.

It doesn't matter what I try and change the angle to after I add the text, it doesn't change the actual angle, and as soon as I exit the settings box, it reverts back to 0. Is there any way I can keep this from happening?

I've tried every way I can think to replicate what you're seeing and I can't in NX9.0.0 or NX9.0.3.
Are you willing to upload a part that has the issue in it?

I could maybe develop a dummy part, but I definitely can not upload the drawing I'm having the issue with.

OK, so I made a dummy part, and in the Drafting plane (I didn't bother doing a Title Block, that's not necessary for what I'm trying to show) you can see two dimensions. One is rotated and set up how I need it in the drawing that I'm working on. The other was set up the same as well, except I added some appended text, which forced the 90 degree angle applied to the dimension text to revert back to 0.

Oh, and since I didn't think of it before, the version of NX 9 that I'm using is NX 9.0.2.5.

I've looked at the file you posted and I do not see the issue that you describe. Whether I double click the dimension and add appended text or whether I use the "edit appended text" command, the 90° dimension stays at 90° when I finish the edit.

I'm using NX 9.0.3.4; you might try installing that MR, perhaps the issue you describe is limited to 9.0.2.5.

Interesting, so it's a bug specifically for this version? Updating it might be easier said than done, but that is good news regardless that it seems to be a bug that was fixed.

I can't guarantee that updating will fix your issue, but I (and others in the thread) cannot replicate the issue in 9.0.3.4, nor am I aware of any setting that would rotate your dimension for you after adding appended text.

You could contact GTAC to see if the same (or similar) bugs were reported. I think they maintain a list of what was fixed in each maintenance release; boring reading to be sure, but it might give you a definitive answer.
