GROUP DRAWINGS IN ONE FILE ?
GROUP DRAWINGS IN ONE FILE ?
(OP)
Hello
I need to group a bunch of drawings into one large drawing per a customer's request.
The individual drawings will have three or four views in them with dimensions & notes. They will also have borders & title blocks with most of the info coming from each file's property-attributes.
I need for all this to to show in the large drawing for each individual drawing.
Does anyone know how I can do this in NX6?
Thanks,
James

I know there'll be updates to the design in the near future once the tool tweaked in for production. This way all the drawings will update.

I would otherwise assume that it would be difficult to do associative, the view dependent objects such as the drawing borders are difficult to show in other parts.
One strange but associative way of doing it would be thru the use of "Patterns".
Save all the drawing-files having the save option - Pattern data only =on, retrieve the pattern ( Format - pattern - retrieve pattern etc) place on the collector drawing.
Make sure that the system variable UGII_PATDIR ( from the ugii_env.dat) is set to the directory where the drawing files reside. - Else the patterns will not display when opened "tomorrow".
( the pattern will only display a small cross-symbol in the lower left corner.)

I'm off that job for a short time. When I get back on it I'll look into that. The pattern formats is something I haven't used at all. I'd call that thinking out of the box :)
