Prompts when inserting drawing borders
Prompts when inserting drawing borders
(OP)
Guys,
In ProE we could get automatic prompts when inserting drawing borders so that the user could go through a list of attributes that would then be automatically populated in the Title block.
Does UG NX4 allow you to do this?
Thanks,
Dave

RE: Prompts when inserting drawing borders
So the better way to respond is in the form of the question why would you want to do that. NX supports drawing templates that can be already pre-programmed to display attributes as text. The attributes can be edited from the properties tab for the file and used to drive text on a drawing. In addition you can cut and paste some of the data back and forth from other files.
This is something myself and others have explained in detail countless times before on this forum so if you're not already aware of the functionality then you can do a search or ask follow up questions.

I guess we don't really need to do it, coming from ProE it's just the way of working I am used to. The only reason for doing it is to ensure all the fields in the drawing get populated (in case the attribute data is missing from the part).
We won't bother if we have to write a programme. Maybe we'll set up some sort of macro in the part if we find too many instances of missing information in the drawings.

And yes for existing parts run a macro to populate the attributes into the part, or a journal. Either way no real programming will probably be needed.
