Tolerance Table symbol

Tolerance Table symbol

(OP)
Not sure what I did when I added our tolerance tables to the reuse library but now it takes forever and is accessing a spreadsheet. This happened when updating from NX 6.0 native to NX 8.0 Native. Symbol is attached.

RE: Tolerance Table symbol

Tricky case.
It seems that the tables are edited by spreadsheet. And also the part is flagged as a custom symbol. ( i run 8.5 so i cannot save it)
One should be able right click the table and select "Edit without spreadsheet" to get rid of the spredsheet connection.
Then I can only close/ save through using "Finish Custom Symbol Edit".

If you can fix the part by the above, Good. Else it's probably a case for Gtac.

Regards,
Tomas

Thanks Tomas, What I ended up doing was since I'm running native I edited the file name to drop the .sym. extension then recreated the symbol and now the text is not editable.
