NX11 Drafting Package displaying incorrect vertival or horizontal dim values

[Brooks901]

I've been having issues with the dimensioning tool displaying the incorrect dimension value. it seems like it is selecting in the 3D space versus 2D. Do I need to have a setting changed?

PMI dimensions or drafting dimensions? How much is the dimension value off? Can you post a simple example file?

Are you adding dimensions to a non-orthographic view? If so, some extra care needs to be taken.

PMI dimensions or drafting dimensions?---Drafting dimension.
How much is the dimension value off?---The values difference varies from part to part.
Are you adding dimensions to a non-orthographic view? ---- The views are direct projections from another.

I cant provide a simple example because I have yet to figure out when it is going to do this.

What exactly is the incorrect value?
Some dimensions act differently depending in Which entity is selected first.
One example:
If you select, from a cylindrical face, the center-line as the 1st and the edge as the 2nd object, the dimension value will be doubled.

Second Example:
If you select a symbol on your sheet as a 1st object and an edge as the 2nd, the dimension value will be the measured distance on the sheet. (not the 3D model)
