Dimension line width is following the dimension text width.

Dimension line width is following the dimension text width. Description of problem:

The dimension line weight is following the dimension text weight defined in I-deas when the drawing is migrated.  The dimension line weight in I-deas defaults to thin in I-deas so that is what should be seen in NX when the drawing is migrated.  Please convert this to an ER if this is working as designed.

How to reproduce the problem:

  1.  Import the attached package file.

  2.  View the drawing in I-deas and note how one dimension has thin text and the other has thick text but both have thin dimension lines.

  3.  Migrate the drawing.

  4.  View the drawing in NX and note how the dimension lines, arrows, and extension lines are all thick for the dimension with the thick text.

 

Workaround:

  1.  Set your filter in NX to be dimensions

  2.  Drop a window around the drawing so that all dimensions are selected

  3.  Select the settings icon

  4.  Modify the Arrowhead, Arrow Line, Extension line under the line arrow to be the thin line weight.  

  5.  Close the Settings form.
