Drafring: Centre lines and dims not lining up with edges!

[tomstickland]

This is very odd.
I have a drawing, but at certain zoom factors the centre lines of holes are shifting noticeably off position and dimension extension lines are not in line with the edges of the part.

If I zoom right in then they align properly.

Is there some sort of "view tolerance" I need to edit?
I've never seen this happen before.

NX 6.0.4.3

Yes, there are tolerances, but they really only apply when you looking at the drawing. When you go to print/plot/export to PDF/CGM, everything is done using a much higher (tighter) tolerance. However, when you see this condition and it's annoying you, try going to...

View -> Operation -> Regenerate Work

...and see if that helps.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Maybe try a part clean-up to see if that helps. It's just a guess, but worth the try.

 

[tomstickland]

Yes, I already tried regenerating the view.
It seemed to fix itself at some point today though, so I'll file it under "an odd thing happened".

I usually opt for the story-line that 'It was Cosmic Rays' as some people actually believe that it's possible ;-)
