    Can't Dimension to WCS in sketch

    Thank you for your replies The model was made in NX6 and would have had "Positioning Dimensions" added to it, which I know restricts you from adding dimensions between sketch and WCS. However, in NX11 all positional dimensions have been removed so I would have thought I would now be able to...

    Can't Dimension to WCS in sketch

    Hello, I'm using NX11 and when I am creating a sketch I can't create dimensions between my sketch and the WCS. A 10 second job has turned in a 10 minute job. In NX6 this could be done so why not in NX11. Thanks for any help and advice Matt

    Limited use on some tools?

    There are seats available because I can use NX and use other tools, but not tools that are in the Freeform category. Or is it possible to have a separate amount of seats for the freeform license?
