NX9 ?: How to Pick Reference Object for Chamfer Dimension with an Offset/Angle Chamfer?

[MASawtell]

Question to those that have been in NX9 longer than I have: Anyone have the ability to pick the reference object for chamfer dimension with a chamfer that was created with the Offset/Angle Option in Modeling? As you can see from the attached JPG, I am having an issue picking what should be the reference line.

In past versions, the chamfer dimension only worked with 'real' chamfers (those at 45°). NX9 is probably no different.

Nuts... had to ask.

NX for the most part follows the ASME Y14 series of standards; per ¶1.8.16.1 of ASME Y14.5-2009 "Chamfers Specified by Note. A note may be used to specify 45° chamfers on perpendicular surfaces. See Fig. 1-43. This method is used only with 45° chamfers, as the linear value applies in either direction."
For your situation, following the standard, you will either have to use a horizontal and a vertical dimension, or a linear dimension and angle.
