Measurement points on drawings

Hello,

I am makng a drawing for chrysler and on one of the pages they require me to have measurement points and a table calling out the x,y, and z coordinates. I have made them in the model and have the coordinates. The problem is I need to have the points show up on my drawing so I can have a leader calling out the points. I can see see the points in the model but I cant on the drawing. I have added then to a layer that is visible but they still will not show up.

Thanks

Hello Cowski,

Yes I am using the master model(assembly) and I do have the points set to the part reference set.
 
What version of NX?
Check that the layer the point objects are on is visible in the drawing view (format -> layer visible in view...).

www.nxjournaling.com
 
Are the points you added on the reference set that is called in the drawing? In the part that has the points go to Format > Reference Set. Click on "Model" in the list and make sure the points are selected. If not then select them. Your load options likely have the model reference set loaded by default. Alternatively, just as a test, you could select the "Entire Part" reference set to see if the points appear.
 
Thanks guys for the feedback,

I am using NX9.0
I have them on a layer that is visible and also I have added the points to the Model Reference set and I still cant see them. Even when I select "Entire Part" I dont see anything.

 
I have the same problem.
I can see the measurements points son 3d side and I can't see points on a drawing side,even I can see points on layers setting and made them visible as well.
Pls advise
 
I have NO problems, using NX 9.0.3.4, creating a model, using Measure Bodies to create a Point object at the centroid of the model, adding that Point object to the 'Model' Reference Set and then seeing that Point when I create a Drawing of the part file. I can also dimension to that Point in any of the Drawing views.
