Check box in NX 7.5 Drafting
Check box in NX 7.5 Drafting
(OP)
Hi, is there a way to create a check box in NX Drafting as opposed to drawing two lines "X" to check a box ... or adding a note "X" inside the box?
The idea here is for the users to check one or more boxes from a list of notes, which are applicable by just clicking inside the box and having NX automatically check them or fill them.
Thanks !

See the attached Drawing. There is a Part Attribute titled 'CHROME_PLATE' which if you change it from 'NO' to 'YES' (mind the case of the words) it will cause an X to appear in the 'box' next to the words 'CHROME PLATE' on the drawing.
Note that there are some issues, such as the fact that the change will not go into effect until you switch from 'Drafting' to 'Modeling', go to...
Tools -> Update -> Update for External Change
...and then return to 'Drafting'.
Note that this procedure is NOT necessary with NX 8.0. If you happen to get a copy of NX 8.0 installed (for evaluation or whatever), I'd be glad to create an equivalent example in NX 8.0 where all of this is better implemented.
