My assembly shows up as "Part is Reference Only" in drawing
My assembly shows up as "Part is Reference Only" in drawing
(OP)
I am using UG NX 7.5. I am relatively new to this software (usually use Pro/E) but our customer is requiring a native UG drawing. I created the assembly in modeling with constraints and opened a drawing template to place the views but the assembly shows up as a Reference part in the Assembly navigator (under the Info column) and when I go to modeling view display (under Display Sheet), the assembly model doesn't show up (empty with just the coordinate system).
Another thing I cannot get to work is getting a x,y,z coordinate grid in the drawing without having to create physical datums in modeling mode.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Under the Attributes tab it has 3 columns: Title, Value and Type. There are 3 rows with the following names: PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER, PLIST_IGNORE_SUBASSEMBLY and REFERENCE_COMPONENT. All these have a "String" type assigned. I have tried to highlight & change the Type or even delete and it will not let me.
COWSKI- Yeah, that's not really what I was looking for. I need a line grid that is defined within the borders of the drawing views that corresponds to the offset distances of the Absolute datum planes x,y,z. All our measurements are taken from in-car position and there is a point chart on the drawing that should coorespond to the the coordinate grid in the views. For example, the first vertical line would represent an offset of 2200mm in the positive x direction, labeled X2200. The next one would be offset 100mm from that and labeled X2300 and so on.

A:
- File -> New
- Drawing tab
- Select template (reference existing)
- Select your assembly under "Part to create a drawing of"
- Add views
B:
- Open drawing template
- Base view-> select your assembly in part section of the command.
- Create views
C:
- Open drawing template
- Add your assembly with add component command
- Base view -> elect your assembly in part section of the command.
- Creat views
If you use A or C you won't get part is reference only
I think B was added for migrating I-deas drawing because in I-deas you could add views from many parts/assemblies to the same drawing.
Style-> General tab on the view if Reference is checked you won't see anything in the view.

Thank you...
Using NX 8 and TC9.1

First make a copy of the paxfile, then edit the original. If enter "typos", the drawing tab will not show up at all in the File new dialog.
See image.
