NX8.0 - Editing the 3D model by using the Expressions in Drafting environment

(OP)
Hi,
I have 2D (Master Part File) file that is linked to a 3D model attached to this file as a component.
It looks like the math date can't be modified from the Drafting environment.....
Is there any way to do that?

Thanks

Why do you want to do that? If you have write access to the original part model, you should be making design changes there and NOT from the Drawing file.

I've just wanted to know if it is possible, nothing more!
At my last assignment I was supposed to make some math date modification.
I was thinking that would have been nice to do that from the Drafting file!....

Most of the customers we work with consider this to be a poor workflow even if it were allowed.
