NX10 Drafting Views, geometry outside detail view bounds.....

[Shadowspawn]

Folks,

Here's one I haven't come across yet... kinda hard to accurately describe so please bear with me. In drafting, when creating a detail view, if you expand into the view one should normally see the geometry of the part including the geometry that falls outside the boundaries of the detail view. I've run into a situation where the my dwg views are going 'out of date', and when I update the views I'm losing associativity to any dimensions that originate outside the view bounds of the detail view.

For example, say you have a plate with a pin hole and a pattern of bolt holes where you want to dimension from the edges of the plate to the pin hole (making it a datm) and then dimension the pattern of holes from said pin hole, all dimensioned in a detail view. I wish I could post a sample part or pic but that is out of the question.

Anybody run into something akin to this before? Is there a setting someplace that controls this behavior? Ideas?....


Thanks in advance...

SS

CAD should pay for itself, shouldn't it?
