Insert Sheet command
Insert Sheet command
(OP)
I am trying to use a PAX file to control the templates available for my department, both New templates and Insert Sheet. The New template command seems to be working with my PAX file, and the Insert Sheet command shows all the templates, but will not actually load in the new sheet. If I leave the sheet PAX with only one callout, it does work however. All files are in the correct directory, and file access is granted.

Is there something wrong within my PAX? or is something else going on?
Thanks

RE: Insert Sheet command
Kyle,
Two questions:
Have you tried temporarily adding one of the NX OOTB template parts to the pax file to see if those parts work from this pax file?
Have your template parts been marked as templates? ("Menu -> Tools -> Drawing Format -> Mark As Template...")
Regards,
Joe
RE: Insert Sheet command
I just verified, the templates are marked as templates, and if I try to insert a A0-A3 (NX default) sheets in my PAX, they work great.
Thanks.

RE: Insert Sheet command
I just copied some templates I have, renamed them and put them in a ShapeNX8.5 folder so I didn't have to make any edits to your pax.
I can only surmise from that, that the PAX file is ok. To me it's either your environment or template files.
Can you post your log again from a session where you try and add your sheets, just make sure this time that you post more of it (before and after where the template is added).
Usually the bit I'm interested in is before what you posted.
