Regarding dimensions in sketch in Part Modelling in NX 8.5 1

[IEngr]

Hi,
In sketch, If i change my dimension, the sketch is updated but the dimension remains at the old location. Is there any way the dimension also moves with the updated sketch?
Step 1: I create a rectangle of width 30 mm from the origin at a distance of from 50 mm
[

Step 2: I change the dimension from 50 mm to 500 mm, the width : 30 mm still remains at the old location. It does not move with the sketch

That behavior has been improved in NX 11.0.

so it means there is no other option in NX 8.5. We have to manually move all dimension?

If its a complex sketch with lots of dimension then this might be a tiresome work
Thanks John for the information

I suggest to nx team to do a big improvement
And do a screen proportional zooming so that
The text and arrows be nice to see in any zooming
Or when zoom to fit

rmc on sketch dimension -> Style -> Dimension (tab) -> top pull-down change arrows to automatic placement

Thanks jerry.. It helps to some extent..

FYI, Siemens has already addressed this - Sketch Settings has an option for Fixed Text Height on Screen. Turning this ON will force the entire dimension to auto-adjust based on zoom scale; turning it OFF, the dimensions remain a fixed height regardless of the zoom scale.
