Setting dimension preferences.

[tomstickland]

One thing that really annoys me about nx6 is that for every radius and diameter dimension I have to manually edit the style to make the text horizontal and manually placed.

I've look at the preferences, but they seem to apply to all dimensions.

Is there any way to set the preferences so that radius and diameter dimensions can have horizontal text, and all other dimensions have aligned text?

There are countless other things that I think are highly illogical, overly time consuming or badly thought out in nx/unigraphics, but I'll go through them another time.

I've had a go with an example. In the model then p104 contains
"M4 x 0.7".
In the specification drawing file I've edited some text and added "relationships", "expression", linked to the actual part. However, the list does not show p104. So I added another expression and then manually edited the resulting code so it uses p104. It now shows the tapped hole diameter and pitch, which is good.

However it involved far too much faff to be considered efficient, and I don't understand why p104 was not showing as an available expression.
