NX6 - Drafting - Adding database attributes to a table

NX6 - Drafting - Adding database attributes to a table

NX6 - Drafting - Adding database attributes to a table

(OP)
I can't seem to get any of the assigned database attributes to show up in a table in drafting mode.  I type any one of the following commands and I get nothing in the cell and no error:

<W$=@$MATERIAL>
<W$=@MATERIAL>
<W=@MATERIAL>

The only "error" I get is after I type in any one of the aforementioned commands, NX adds a question mark between the @ and the Material string.

Yes, I have gone to File > Properties > Attributes Tab and given the Material Title a value of Titanium.

What am I missing?

RE: NX6 - Drafting - Adding database attributes to a table

The proper format is <W@MATERIAL> if we're dealing with Part Attributes.  However, if it's an Object Attribute, then it's a bit trickier.

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