NX 8.5 - Datum Placement in Drafting Issue

[ARToolingEngineer]

Greetings,

I used to model in a newer version of NX (1926), and have had to go backwards. When I place a Datum feature in drafting, and select a dimension line (or an object line) for the Select Terminating Object, the placement only allows me to drag across the length of the line only and not go out further to place "not" on the line I selected for Select Terminating Object. Is there an option to change this in NX 8.5?

Thanks,

Brent

Verify that you are working in the same GD&T standard now that you were in the previous version. There are subtle differences how datums are handled.

Ok, that did it. Just in case anyone else runs into this, you go to Files, Utilities, Customer Defaults, Under Drafting, click General, within the General options, select Standard Tab, then in Standard Tab, the check box next to Drafting Standard, Select the appropriate standard, good to go.

Mine was set to Inherited (which was ghosted out), and this was my issue.

Thanks,
