In NX8.5, a list of available centerlines would appear in a dialog. Now in NX9,
there is no list of named centerlines available. How to dimension to a named
centerline.
Solution
The name of the centerline needs to be typed into the 'Name Selection' field in
the Selection toolbar. To do this, the 'Name Selection' field needs to be added
to the Selection toolbar.
1. In the menu, select 'Tools-->Customize'.
2. Select the 'Commands' tab.
3. Under the 'Categories' window, expand 'Classic Toolbars'.
4. Highlight 'Selection'.
5. Under the 'Commands' window, highlight the 'Name Selection' field.
6. Hold down MouseButton1 and drag and drop the 'Name Selection' field
into the Selection toolbar.
7. Close the Customize dialog.
Now when in a dimension command with the prompt, 'Select First Object'
highlighted, enter the name of the centerline in the 'Name Selection' field
and hit <enter>. The named centerline will highlight and the second object can
be selected.
