Pull and expression linked to an attribute from a model in to a drawing.
Pull and expression linked to an attribute from a model in to a drawing.
(OP)
Hi All
NX9 - I have created an attribute called area and one called perimeter in a model which are linked to expressions that were created via an associative face measurement. How to I pull these attributes in to the master model drawing please.
Cheers

I mananged to get the attribtue across and in to the master model drawing, however it's not associative. If I then go back to the master model and change the shape of the sheet metal part, the expressions in the face measurement update, the values in the attributes that are assigned to the solid model update, but the onces on the drawing sheet do not. Updating the drawing doesn't update the note. If however I up the attributes in a table, then I can right click on the table and they will update, if there anyway this can be made to update with the drawing update? Also how do I get just a standare text note with an attribute in it to update?
Many thanks in advance.

Tools -> Update -> Update for External Change
...then return to Drafting and see if your Drawing is now correct.
