NX9 - Customer Defaults

[phillpd]

I'm trying to set our SITE defaults with No Dual Dimensions, but when someone does toggle on Dual that it positions the dual dimension ABOVE.

I can't seem to find a separate setting for controlling this ?

That needs to be defined in the Drafting Standard section of Drafting Customer Defaults on the 'Units' tab of the 'Annotation' page where it says 'Secondary Position' near the bottom of the page. There you can set the location for the secondary, which I assume you mean when you say 'dual dimension' as in "dual dimension ABOVE".

John, I can only set the position if I toggle on dual dimensioning.

I want the default for dual to be off, but when a user toggles it on using drafting preferences, I want it to default to above.

There is no way that I'm aware of that would force the user to select a particular Dual Dimension format, in this case, the Secondary or 'Dual Dimension' on the top, from the list of available schemes when and if the user decided that he wanted to use Dual Dimensions on his drawing. The best that you could do would be to NOT show them where the Units option is set, but give them a journal insteead that they must run before they started creating Dual Dimensions which would set it to the scheme desired.
