I am trying to make a compound tolerance frame in NX11 but when I use the GDT tool that's available there's a space between the two frames. Recently I've been using the Text tool for a single frame with text under it. My question is, is there a way to create a compound tolerance frame using the text tool to eliminate the space in between frames? I've attached a power-point illustrating further details.

Thank you very much. <&80> is the connector between the two frames. I knew I was close.
 
If I'm correct, you can also create 2 separate ones using the GDT tool.
If you create the second one and move it onto the first they should snap together.
