Where the Sketch Dimensions Setting 1

[EngProgrammer]

Dear Forum,

The dimensions on my sketch are showing up like dual dimensions. Except both dimensions are exactly the same. Also, there is a common instead of a period (decimal). I started a new part as an English part.

Where do I go to change the sketcher settings for the dimensions??

Thanks,

The sketcher uses that same settings are for Drafting, so go to...

Preferences -> Drafting.

Okay. I was able to change the dual dimensions but how do I change the comma to a decimal?

What version of NX are you running? If it's NX 9.0 or NX 10.0, just open the Drafting Preferences dialog and enter 'comma' in the 'Find' field. If it's NX 8.5 or older, go to Preferences -> Annotation... and select the 'Units' tab. You can set the Decimal Point Character using the very first option on that page, in the upper left corner.
