This is what I had in mind:

However, the assembly I'm working on is too large (file weight) for these options. I'll have to think of another solution.
Thanks for the tips though

Thanks for the tip but I tried something similar (waved the assembly and tried this... however after 30 minutes of waiting NX hadn't finished creating the wave. This is one large assembly!)
Hi,
I might have part of the solution.
-In the identification symbol dialog, click on the "A" next to the text field.
-Once in the next dialog box, right under the area where you type text, select "Relationships" from the "Category" drop down menu.
-From there, you have access to different...
Cowski, you've just earned yourself a STAR.
I was able to select the face (something weird though, I could see the element being highlighted after I selected it) and I was able to get the dimension in the proper direction.
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip but it's not working.
Perhaps I should mention that the view shown in attachment is a projected view of a cylindrical surface.
When using an inferred dimension, it giving me a radial dimension and I can't select any other line.
However, I was able to use a turnaround...
Oops, I thought the file had uploaded.
I think it should work this time.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a drafting and I'm currently having an issue with a dimension.
I need to size a rectangular feature of which its sides aren't aligned with the horizontal and vertical axis (as shown in the attached document). The features are a line and a point. The reason...
I can say that after a week of not being able to turn off there shortcut toolbars (as stated above, they don't "stay" off!), it's really annoying.
Ending deleting or hiding a part because that damn toolbar appears isn't something I'll get use to or get to appreciate.
I hope that I'll find a...
Thanks for the answers.
But this is exactly what I did and the bars either keep coming back (even when switching from a file to another) or I can't disable them at all.
I guess I'll have to get use to it...
Thanks
John,
the issue I have is that the specific toolbar that shows a constraint button when selecting a component in an assembly doesn't show up in the customization menu. I don't know if there's an other way of "calling" for that toolbar by activating assembly mode or something?
I tried several...
Hello guys,
I've went through the process of removing these shortcut toolbars that appeared. I got rid of these since I didn't really like that feature except for one stubburn bar; the constraint bar. Whenever I select a component in an assembly, I get this tiny box which I can't turn off or...
From the way NX works I would think it is better to use layers. To prevent the "hidden unknown layers", use categories of layer. A good practice would also be to predefine a range of layers for different objects (like 100-120 for datums, 120-140 for sketches, etc..)
I wasn't convinced at first...
