NX Drafting Standard "Allow Circle U" (Unequal Tolerance) not allowing? 1

[jmarkus]

I have a drawing which won't let me choose the "Circle U" or "unequal tolerance" modifier on a feature control frame. If I create a new drawing, the option is available. From what I can see the drafting standard I am using allows "circle u" so I don't understand where/how it is locked at the drawing level and how I can unlock it.

Can anyone out there give me some advice?

Thanks,
Jeff

Check Drafting Preferences to make that the Standards are coming the the Drawing Standard and NOT from teh Drawing Template. Now if you want to change the Standard that your file points to in the future, irrespective of what is set in Customer Defaults or was defined in any Drawing Tempalte, while in Drafting, with your Drawing file open, go to...

Tools -> Drafting Standard...

...and select the desired standard, hit OK and save your Drawing file.

Thanks John. I never noticed it was under Tools, I kept looking in the Customer Defaults and the Preferences menu.
