Auto-balloning
Auto-balloning
(OP)
We recently upgraded from NX6 to NX7.5. Prior to the upgrade, instead of using the auto-ballon function from parts lists, I would place empty ballons and then hit update parts list; which filled in the numbers. Worked like a charm.
I'm now trying to do the same thing in NX7.5, and I am not having any luck. Is there a setting that we need to change?

RE: Auto-balloning
UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST controls this behavior

RE: Auto-balloning
Note: Siemens recommends that instead of changing this file, add that line to the following file: "ugii_env.dat"
ugii_env.dat would then have the following line in it:
UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST=0 (This setting means that multiple parts lists can be added to a drawing, and the behaivor I described in my original post does not work)
OR
UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST=1 (This setting means that only one parts list can be added to a drawing, but this also allows you to add empty ID ballons to your drawing, and have parts list fill in the empty balloons for you. This is what I want)
