I created a custom post for doing this. I do not like using the standard MC outputs because they are very limited. The NCI variable for extension is 20007 #3. The way I do this in post processors is I convert the numbers to letters. For example:
20007#3 will be booog3 in my post. Yes, the #3 is left as 3. This system makes it EXTREMELY easy to look at a post and know exactly what NCI variable a formula is using.
He can leave the retract point at .1" but change it to "incremental". The retract is based upon the "top of stock" position and not the point selected.
When you move a label with a leader using "analyze properties" the arrowhead of the leader stays locked to the original position. When you move the entire thing with transform then there is no way to lock the arrowhead to a new entity, from what I see.
It would be nice if we could click on the arrow of the drafting notes to relocate them with Dynamic transform instead of the middle of the note, or both.
Yes, I know they have been there for many versions. I have always used them. My point is, why am I now receiving this message when I have them turned on in Configuration? Who said I skipped version upgrades?

Like I said, it was not initially intended for MC. Actually, it does add value to the Cam package when the guy who used to run the fry machine at McDonalds is now runnng a $200,000 CNC and can't understand things like "Flip part 180 degrees around Y axis". Most shops might crash a machine every 6 months. These guys do it every 6 hours.
Yes, I can see it in NX. I drew it in NX. There are no problems there. I have not tried to open it directly in MC, just as a merge. I have searched all of the merge options and there is nothing I see that would cause this. I will try a direct open next. Thanks
