Good afternoon,

I am using NX7.5 and drafting in the same file as the model. I want to add equidistant dimensions / symbols to 2 points either side of a centreline.
Can anyone tell me how to do this please? I can add 2 dimensions which have the same value, but how do I add the '=' sign strikethrough the dimension line?

(did that make ANY sense ?!?)

Any help is gratefully received.
I am sure the help documention would tell me this however I do not have the luxury of it being installed on my machine.

Cheers,

Rich.

Is it possible to post a pic of what you want the dimension to look like?
 
Easy one: select the 2 entities for your single dimension then, while still in dimensionning, hit the arrow-left key: you'll have access to a small on-screen input window where you can type "=" then hit Enter; hit then the left arrow and do the same. You should now see 2 "=" signs before and after your dimension. Place your dimension. Done.
 
If u want only = sign but no dimensions you have to use Edit Appeneded text option and put = in place of dimension

or else the above mentioned method will work fine

You can make the dimensions reference by placing them between brackets like (d1) then appended text before and fill in $h then press enter. Now you will have something like this // (d1).

Best regards,

Michaël.
