weird thing after creating template in NX

(OP)

3. Preference > annotation, then started to change font size from 3 to 2

4. mark as template and create a new PAX file


testing
1. new model
2. new drawing, selcet the template i created

weir thing: the font size is 3 NOT 2...... all my change in annotations become default settings

what happend??

RE: weird thing after creating template in NX

Since it's a 'template', unless specified differently, it will inherit what's set in the current Drafting Standard as set in Customer Defaults.

What version of NX are you running?

thanks for reply!

NX 8.5

it means i have to change all setting in the customer default?

if all my colleague wants to use this template, they must change everything in customer setting as what i change on my PC, right?

RE: weird thing after creating template in NX

No, just that you can go to...

Preferences -> Drafting -> General

...and in the 'Drawing Settings' section of the dialog, toggle ON the 'Use Settings from Drawing Template' option.
