What version of NX are you running?

Hi, i am using NX 8.5
 
Did you left the sketch open when creating the pdf? Have placed the sketch on the sheet itself or inside a view?

Best regards,

hi, those sketch are from model.
i draw the sketch in the model and set those sketch as reference set which is finally shown on the view.
that's all i did about the sketch in drafting view.

before exporting to PDf, i already notice those anchor point but very very small; however, after exporting, the anchor point became bigger...
 
Personally i think it's better to create a sketch in the drafting app. and then set the ref set to SOLID. If it's a big sketch you can use the project curve feature to extract the curve from the original sketch.

the reason i use sketch from model is because those sketch has expressions.

when the expression changes, the sketch will also change and it will reflect on the drawing.

does manually drawin sketch link to models (associative)?
 
Yes projecting the curves can be associative.

It seems we are moving away from the initial question.
The "Anchor" is a point object in the sketch and can probably be deleted as such unless you need it for constraint purposes. If you need it for constraint purposes, place it on a hidden layer.

You can create associative sketches in drawings, you need to have Extracted edges in the Views to be able to snap / constrain to the geometry.
If so, the Sketch has Expressions.

What function did you use to create the Pdf ?
- The NX internal File-Export-Pdf or "some other pdf converter" ?
If "some other pdf converter", -ask the supplier of that converter why it does this, it's not an NX issue.
- Why not use the NX option ?

i just did an expreimental model and create some sketch in the model and then use "Set Reference" so that those sketches can update in the drawing.

looks like no anchor point appear at this time...........
so sad, my current has so many procedures so cannot figure out what step may contain "something" which make the drawing shows the anchor point.....
and dont know why the anchor pont bedomes bigger




yes, i am directly exporting to PDF using NX.
