A diametral dimension has no extension line when created on a partial circular cutout.
This behavior is specific to cases where a partial circular cutout is perpendicular to the axis of a shaft.
Solution
In NX Drafting, when creating a diametral dimension on a partial circular cutout (that is perpendicular to the axis of a shaft), it is necessary to select the 'face' of the cutout, rather than the extracted edge (spline), to ensure that an extension line is created.
