CUSTOMER DRG FILE: unable to select BOM & title block
(OP)
Hello all,
I received a Fiat drawing file in Nx 7.5.0.32.
I was able to make the changes in the views & notes, but i am not able to select the BOM & Title block. These donot have view frame border. I checked with the layers also & all are fine. I have been using Nx since last 4+ yrs but have not come across such situation. Any idea how can i edit/modify these.
Regards,
Sundeep P

Go to Info -> Object and pick one of the entities on the border and see what it gets reported as
RE: CUSTOMER DRG FILE: unable to select BOM & title block
It does not select anything in this layer.

Does Fiat have NX customizations similar to the GM toolkit?

RE: CUSTOMER DRG FILE: unable to select BOM & title block
Also, is this file possibly an Assembly with the Drawing border being part a Component? If it is an Assembly, make sure that the 'Selection Scope' is set to 'Entire Assembly'.
I know this are basic suggestions, but when you get to this point, it's sometimes the really lame issues that are getting in the way

RE: CUSTOMER DRG FILE: unable to select BOM & title block
I think yes they have some customizations and i don't have those.
RE: CUSTOMER DRG FILE: unable to select BOM & title block
i checked all these since yesterday
I am really stuck. Problem is i am unable to select.
Is there anything like suppress/freeze etc.

Now, when they are creating a new drawing, they place the views, notes, etc. After that, they do this:
1. format menu
2. pattern
3. retrieve pattern
4. now, they select their pattern for the table and the title block and place them
All objects (lines, tables, text, etc.), defined as pattern, can not be selected directly on a drawing. They don't have any view border, work layer will not affect this, etc.
Now, if this is the case, then you can do this:
1. click on Format menu
2. select Pattern
3. just for the testing, click on any command in new window. Let's say on Replace Pattern
4. now, select Only Selected Patterns
5. now, if this table is pattern, then you will see somewhere on the pattern the x sign. Click on it. Or, you can click on Select All in Class Selection dialog box.
6. if the table has changed the color, then it is selected and you know now, that this it is defined as pattern.
I have also attahce the movie, to maybe show this better. If you can not see the movie, let me know and I will upload the codec.
