A master model attribute question

A master model attribute question

A master model attribute question

(OP)
We use master model in NX6.
I would like to bring another model file into my drawing file as a reference, and then ignore it in the parts list using the attribute "PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER"
A Problem occurs that in my title block the drawing number is read from "<W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME>",
but with this second model file in there it can no longer do that because of the conflict between the two files.

Is there a way to ignore this second model file that I am bringing into my drawing file so that I can use "<W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME>" from the primary model file?

I will be able come up with a differnt way to do this, but it just takes a little bit more work.

RE: A master model attribute question

This appears to have been addressed in XN 7.5 as the Automatic Text only reports the original Master Model part file (the one the drawing was created for) and ignores any added views referencing additional part models.

As for NX 6.0, I wasn't able to find an easy workaround.

BTW, if you use the 'Add Base View' option to add an additional part file view that you wish to reference on the drawing without including it in the Parts List, there is NO need to use any sort of 'PLIST_IGNORE' assignments since the Parts List will automatically ignore parts added to the Drawing using this approach.
