NX 8.0.0.25 2d Exchange to DWG from drafting, missing Views
(OP)
Hello, we just upgraded to 8.0.0.25 from 7.5 and I went ahead and made some new drawing templates using the tools that NX8 offers for that, I made several drawings and plotted them just fine, but when I use 2D exchange to export them as a DWG the dimensions seem to be all there, but the views are translating partially at best, I have a screen grab of the NX8 screen of where the drawing was made and a Screen grab of our DWG viewer and this is what I get, please tell me what I am doing wrong, I looked on this forum and could find a single thing of anyone else having this problem, either I wasn't searching for the right thing or I am really doing something wrong.....
P.S. when I import the DWG back into NX it shows the same thing as our DWG viewer does.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks
Josh

before, we just used text for our company name and slogan, when I informed them of the way NX8 populates the tabular notes (title blocks) from the properties menu (the variables from our old templates didn't seem to work)I suggested that I make a new set of boarders(so everything updates without having to force them), when I said that, the owners suggested that they see other company's putting there image looking logo's on there prints (DWG) that we receive from them, and thought now would be a good time to put one on ours, I admit it does look more professional, is there a work around to this or am I shooting in the dark

So you're saying that your customers are actually using a '2D Drawing' exchange format for accessing the geometry of your models, that they are NOT doing this for 'documentation' (as in man-readable 'paper') purposes, eh?

I am not trying to sound rude if I am..... I am just trying to answer your question John, I really don't have an answer but what I explained above.....
I did contact Gtac and found out that it was my DWG software that wasn't translating the title blocks, if you directly import it from a DWG back into NX they come back through, except our logo which is an image file, I will have to do something different with that, James from Gtac suggested that I try and export the image as a DXF them bring it in to NX for the template then it may work, I have yet to try this, but I will soon to see how it goes....
thanks again for your support, for being as green as I am with NX and design this forum and youtube has helped a lot, we have only taken the NX essentials class and have yet to take another, rest is trial and error, the problem is trying to find time when we are slow to take a class, but when we are slow, the next tier class is usually unavailable.....such is life....
