Pattern Format Problems With Attributes

Pattern Format Problems With Attributes

Pattern Format Problems With Attributes

(OP)
Hey all,

I am using NX6, I have made a format template with automatic attributes, part names, sheet numbers, units, etc. I want to use the format as a pattern. All the part attributes show up just fine once the pattern is retrived into the drawing. But all the sheet attributes from this list dont show up.

<W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER>
<W@$SH_NUMBER_OF_SHEETS>
<W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_NUMERATOR>
<W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_DENOMINATOR>
<W@$SH_SHEET_SIZE>
<W@$SH_SHEET_UNITS>
<W@$SH_SHEET_PROJECTION_ANGLE>
<W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME>
<W@$SH_PART_NAME>

The only attribute that shows up from the 'sheet attributes' is 'the number of sheets' (<W@$SH_NUMBER_OF_SHEETS>)

Any ideas what im doing wrong? Its something to do with the pattern - when I import the format template as a part all the attributes work just fine.

HELP PLEASE

Russkiman,

Are you using Master Model for your drawings?

NO sir... I am not

RE: Pattern Format Problems With Attributes

Hmmm,

just tested them out and they work fine.

Do you add them in your drawing sheet, or are you setting up a Template and add these nominators in your "modeling" view?

I am adding them to the drawing sheet. it seems that when the boarder is saved as a pattern for some reason those attributes do not work??
