nx6 /nx7 trouble with drafting text

[uwam2ie]

until Nx6 we have placed text in a standard tfr tri view / work in member view - this text was directed in individual wcs direction - we have placed the wcs in direction of two edges (x-y) and places the text on that plane. In Nx6 nx7 it work also in this way. The problem is when I edit this directed text the direction is changed in view direction. Is there a trick or something I have know? Or is it a bug
thx

Are you talking about placing text in Trimetric view added to a Drawing or just in a Trimetric modeling view? And what do you mean by the term 'directed text'?

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

He's right. If you create an isometric view then expand it you can orient a co-ordinate system and then add a note that is aligned to the XY plane quite easily. However if you attempt to edit that text then it snaps back normal to the page.

This appears to have been fixed in NX 7.5, at least that's what my testing has shown me (I verified that the problem, as described by uwam2ie and hudson888, does indeed manifest itself in NX 6.0 and NX 7.0, but not in NX 7.5).

a workaround is to use edit -> annotation - > text
to edit not to interact those texts by double clicking.
