    NX9 Feature Control Frame

    I want to move a feature control frame. The control frame moves but the arrow attachment point doesn't. Is there a way I can create the feature control frame so I can move it with the arrow staying perpendicular to the face or the dimension line?

    Co-ordinate table

    I am using NX 7.5. I have a flat drill plate with approx 50 holes in it. Can I create a co-ordinate table with X & Y values on my drawing without measuring each hole position in the solid model? Many thanks.

    Aligning Drawing Views

    Can I align drawing views using geometry in each view rather than the automatic aligning of views?

    Fake Dimension

    If I create a fake dimension using edit-annotation-text is there a way to convert it back to the dimension it was? This is NX7.5.

    Surface Finish Symbol NX7.5

    Is there a way to add the surface finish symbol so it automatically picks up the angle of the face or dimension to which it is applied? I seem to have to add an angle in the settings whereas I would be hoping it would pick up the association of the face.

    Filtering parts out on assembly drawings

    Hello New to this site and just back on nx7.5 after spending the last couple of years on catia v5. Formerly on nx6. What is the best method for filtering out parts on an assembly drawing? I need to filter out different parts in different views. Thanks.
