Standard Notes on Drawings

Standard Notes on Drawings

thread561-138488: Grip: Std Notes on new dwg...

Hello all, I have been tasked to create standard notes for our drawings and saw the topic started back in 2005. I am sure things have changed significantly since then so I am wondering now what the best solution would be for someone that needs to create different notes to have on cast drawings, machined drawings, etc.

One thing I tried and failed was to have the notes as a custom symbol, but it didn't work because we have custom symbols inside the notes (number with a triangle around them) and also refer to attributes which it didn't like either.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Standard Notes on Drawings

You can use standard notes in your template file(s) that have the notes for each drawing type.

You can make a program that puts notes on a drawing, like I did in that other topic using GRIP or another UG language.

It all depends on the level of flexibility you need from your note program.

I am trying to keep 1 template per sheet size so I would rather not have all the notes listed.
I don't know a thing about grip or programming. Where would I start?

RE: Standard Notes on Drawings

You could make a couple different note prt files. Then just insert this prt files into your drawings.

I tried the drag and drop method, it works with text only, but not if there are referenced attributes.

SDETERS,

Can you clarify how I would make a note part file?

RE: Standard Notes on Drawings

You can also open any file saved as plain text, i.e '.txt' file, inside the NX Note Editor.

I think SDETERS has given me the solution that will work best for what I need. I have successfully created a text part and imported it back to a drawing with the symbols and the attributes I need.
