    Solidworks - Add "REF" Text to Datum Target?

    Howdy folks -- looking to re-create an old drawing of ours in Solidworks. Our datum targets in the original drawing (created in NX6 when I was a wee babe) sometimes include the text "REF" in the upper half of the bubble. This is of course only when they're being used as references -- the...

    NX6 -- How to lengthen existing section view line?

    Pretty much what the subject says... how does one lengthen an existing section view line? We have an old part that was recently modified to be longer. However, the section view line is now too short for the part. I have had no formal training on NX (let alone NX6), but playing around with...
