Hi,

There is a special dimension the company uses on their prints. Is there a way to create this special dimension? I have attached a JPEG of what the dimension looks like. Basically, it is a regular dimension but both extension lines are angled in opposite mirrored angles. Then, the "normal" part of the dimension the rest of the way.

Does anyone have any idea how to create this besides creating 2 angled 2D lines, dimension to the angled lines and then manually edit the dimension?

Yes, that should be possible using NX 10.0.
