Linked body ID symbol
Linked body ID symbol
(OP)
Is it possible to create an ID symbol on a linked body in drafting which automatically gets the correct ID according to the parts list? I can only make this by typing the number manually.

RE: Linked body ID symbol
If UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST is set to a non-zero value then parts lists will have the pre-NX2 behavior of updating all ID symbols in the part that have rows in the parts list when the parts list updates. Also, creation of multiple parts lists will not be allowed when this variable is set. Set to 0 to allow multiple parts lists.
To set the variable:
Win XP: Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced (TAB) -> Environment Variables
or
Win 7: Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings (Upper left) -> Environment Variables
The create a User variable called UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST and set the value to 1. Restart NX and all should be good to do what John has suggested.
