Hello,

Is there a way to add a direct "extension & arrow display toggles" on the quick dimension options ?
Because hiding them in NX9 became much much much longer than in NX8.

We really liked the "Annotation style" panel in NX8.0
It was very visual an intuitive. Nearly all cosmetic settings in one panel. Perfect.

Why did you replace it with this category/column text based dialog box !?
You have to search for your option in text mode.
Expand category etc ... it increase clic-count.

Thank you
