NX 6 - View letter 'A' already in use (but it's not!)
NX 6 - View letter 'A' already in use (but it's not!)
(OP)
I started a new drawing, added a base view, two projected views and two section views. They named themselves 'B' and 'C' and when I try to change 'C' to 'A' it tells me it's already in use.
I did a part cleanup and also checked the letters on all other views...
NX 6.0.2.8
Thanks in advance!

Preferences -> View Label...
...and at the bottom of the dialog, what do you see in the field labeled 'Letter'?

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

Go to your part navagtor and expand the sheet (probably "sheet 1") and see if there is a view in there with an "A" in the last letter of the view title. You can delete it from there if you need to.

Jerry - Checked that already...
Cowski - I saw that, but I already checked my other views...

Have you tried creating a Drawing from scratch (i.e. NOT from a predefined template) and see if the problem still exists. If it doesn't, you have may have to create a new Drawing template from scratch and replace th existing one.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Just a question regarding the same issue. Is there any way of using the same label twice i.e. the same label shows up for two different views in their respective sheets without having to do it manually?
