NX9 manual placement (non-centered) dimension 2

[carlharr]

Hello,

I'm having a go with NX9 drafting today, having trouble with finding the manual placement option for dimensions.
i.e. in linear dimension, all dim values are in the centre of the leaderlines, and I can't move them.

Could anyone tell me where the option to switch from automatic placement to manual is?

Thanks in advance, Carl

John's pic seems to show the settings for a detail view.
Do you want the scale label for a non-detail view?
If so, look at view settings -> Base/Drawing -> Label -> Scale, show view scale option (when checked, more options will appear to control the appearance).

I just assumed that you were talking about Detailed views as those are the only ones for which I've ever added a scale notation to. And as for the NX 9.0.0 versus NX 9.0.1 issue, I was only qualifying my comment since I no longer have NX 9.0.0 installed on my laptop.

Morning,

That's interesting.

John is correct I am only trying to turn off the scale label on an existing detail view, which doesn't seem to be possible (in current version).

However, the general prefereces you've mentioned cowski do include a check box for detail view scale label, so I can switch it off for newly created detail views!

Thank you both for your help.
