Updating to Boders and Zones from drawing templates with patterns
Updating to Boders and Zones from drawing templates with patterns
(OP)
Been working on updating my templates with the new NX 8 borders and zones. The new documentation is really good but created this doc a supplement for when I go back and finish the rest of my templates and figured I would share for those of you going to update your templates. This is in no way complete or gospel. Just some notes as I was going through it. Hope it helps!

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I couldn't see any reason to mark the file as a template without having the extra license except for it creating the pax file automatically for you.
I ended up just staying with a copy of my NX 7.5 pax's, that were already completed and looked cleaner (multi-line). I went on without marking the part files as templates and they seemed to work (I havn't done full testing yet...). Does marking the part file as a template do anything else that I'm not seeing?

Is there any harm if you don't mark the file as a template if you already have the pax file created?
