Hi all,

Maybe a stupid question, but why is the Datum Feature Symbol in NX not a Square?
According ISO 7083, looking at the picture (attached) "figure 17" it should be a square...

Okay, then I am now wondering what setting might influence this...
Someone any idea?

In our customized production environment Drafting standard for GD&T general is ISO1101-1983
Strange thing is, it is the same in our o.o.t.b installation, but there the box does look a real square.
