How do you Scale a Symbol within a Tabular Note in NX drafting

How do you Scale a Symbol within a Tabular Note in NX drafting

How do you Scale a Symbol within a Tabular Note in NX drafting

(OP)
The attached PowerPoint explains the situation better but here goes...
I want to add a symbol to a cell within a "Tabular Note" in NX 7 drafting. I can add the symbol with an attribute call-out but I cannot scale the symbol. I know there is a scale symbol setting but it seems to have no effect. This same idea applied to a "Note" scales perfectly fine.

The attribute that I want to add is:
<W@$SH_SHEET_PROJECTION_ANGLE>

Does anyone know how to scale the symbol in a "tabular note"?

Thanks, Don

RE: How do you Scale a Symbol within a Tabular Note in NX drafting

I think this is currently a limitation of symbols in tabular notes (i.e. they won't scale when in a table). I seem to remember a similar thread posted a while back, but can't find it now.

Thanks Cowski. It's interesting though because the form has "scale" and "Aspect ratio" settings. I just cannot get them to work. If they don't work, they should be greyed-out or removed from the form. I'm still holding out for a way to get the scaling to work; maybe in NX8 when title blocks are more Tabular Note driven. Thanks again.

RE: How do you Scale a Symbol within a Tabular Note in NX drafting

I've tested both NX 8.0 and the next release which goes into beta-testing next month, and as best I can ascertain, this behavior has not yet been modified.  May I suggest that contacting GTAC and getting some ER's submitted will be the best way to get this considered for a future enhancement.
