X7 Auto Nkba Issue, Openings Unchecked In All Dimensions, It Still Dimensions Openings.

HI,

I just want Auto NKBA to dimension cabinets and fixture centers.  It wants to include window openings even after I've shut off openings in all dimension dbx's.  Anyone know why this might be?

 

Thank you, Barry

I don't think you can control what gets dimensioned.  I  think the whole point was that they use the NKBA standards.

 

I suppose you can generate the NKBA dimensions and then remove the openings.  Or you could look at setting up the auto elevation dimensions to give you what you want.

Barry,

For the Auto NKBA, there is not a control to turn off/on what you locate.  It is designed to pickup the typical items the NKBA recommends.

 

I do it manually; using a dimension default for the cabinet boxes and one for my appliance centerlines.  It works very quickly.  In the dialog diagram these are “NKBA 1E – Elevation Cabinets” and “NKBA 2 – Appliance Centerline” (when using the centerline, change your dimension tool to centerline).  If you want my defaults, you can export them from the Fire & Ice Sample plan (export the annotation sets; you will then just need to turn off openings in my NKBA 1E configuration.

Thank you Scott, that makes sense, I'll create the same, thanks for your example.
