NX7.5 Extrude Dimension display. 1

[SDETERS]

I am modeling a die cast housing. I am trying to keep wall thickness constant with reusing the same wireframe ect. This is working ok but I went into an extrude and I see the following.

-2.65 // Used By ...

what is going on? Did I do something wrong?

In My model I have an Expression set up with a value set to wall thickness.

Could you provide the model?

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

This '// Used by...' flag is assigned whenever an Expression is shared by more than one feature. Some examples of this is when you've created a Mirror Feature or you've done a 'Copy & Paste' and picked the 'Reuse Original' Expressions option.
