Hello,

I already used the search-tool but it didn`t help me out. On my drafting I have the following problem:
Some areas are colored by "solid fill". It seems like the dimensions in the colored areas disappear when the "solid fill" function is used after placing the dimension. Do You know a way to put the dimension always in front? I made a couple of hundred and i don't want to delete them all and replace them again.
I use NX 10.

Thank You in advance
Malte

There is no "move to front/ move to back" in NX.
What you need to do is edit the solid fill, then select the dimension to "exclude". This will open up a rectangular area in the solid fill around the text from the dimension.

I guess that this edit can be simplified using a journal. I.e pick solid fill, pick dimensions, ok.

Ok, Thank You.
It's not the most beautiful way, but I think I can live with that.
