If a drawing containing these types of dimension breaks is opened in a newer version of NX, how can these breaks be removed?

Solution

To move or delete the old Dimension breaks (gaps) you will need to used the command "Edit Drafting Object Component". In the latest versions of NX this command is hidden, so the easiest method to access it is to search for it in command finder.

Command Search

Once opened  select Delete or Move as required and then select the area of the dimension containing the gap and then OK/APPLY.
