NX5: Drafting Annotation

[adrag]

In drafting, if I have an annotation that defines a hole, is there a way to tie it to a dimension in the modeler? For instance, I'm calling out a hole depth that is .750 deep with <#D>.750. But the depth is defined by p120 in modeling. What is the syntax to relate the hole depth to p120? That way, if I change the hole depth in the future, the annotation in drafting will automatically update. Thanks

I just started using NX 4 drafting... But I know there is a [Feature Parameter] button on the [Drafting Annotation] toolbar. I haven't played around with it yet.. But it might be what you're looking for (assuming it exists in NX5)

Does anyone know how to put a box around a dimension? Been searching for at least an hour and I can't find it anywhere. (i.e. A dimension that is true-positioned)

Found it: In style tolerances type.

adrag,
There is a tab in the text editor called "Relationships".
This will give you access to the model expressions.
If you use the recommended Master Model approach, there is a "Link to Part" button which will allow you to access component expressions.
