Custom symbol out of date notification
Custom symbol out of date notification
(OP)
Hi,
if a view or part list is out of date, NX automatically notifies this.
If a drawing has symbols out of date, NX doesn't notify automatically nothing.
Exist an automatic solution that NX notifies that there are symbols out of date ?

RE: Custom symbol out of date notification
why do you write this ?
The new functionality in NX8 is the relation between the master symbol and the copied symbol added. If the master change, the occurrence can be updated.
There is an option to lock this update.
But there isn't a message 'out-of-date' if the master symbol is changed.
This check can be only performed manually.
I would like an automatic check with a 'out-of-date' message, like the part list.
Thank you...

That being said, have you opened the Part Navigator and looked for what's called an 'Out-of-Date' folder, which will be found under the Drawing Sheet icon but only if there actually are any out-of-date Parts Lists, Tables or CUSTOM SYMBOLS on that particular Drawing sheet?

RE: Custom symbol out of date notification
To verify if symbols used in the drawings are 'out-of-date', you have to manually RMB on the 'out-of-date' folder use the 'update' command and so on on relative sub-folders.
I would like that NX show the classic 'out-of-date' icon on this folder or better the same message used for out-of-date views, so the user is prompted to decide what to do to synchronize the drafting.
