Defining a title block on NX 9
Defining a title block on NX 9
(OP)
Hi,
I need to define a new title block on NX 9 and got stuck almost right in the beginning. Please see the linked image: [img https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-...]
I'm looking for solutions on the following items:
1) How do I Import an image into the table? I've tried different image sizes so far but I don't get the image to show up.
2) On the Siemens original title block, there are background texts in the cells, like TITLE, DRG. NO, SHEET REV etc. How do I add these kind of text items into the table cells?
3) I assume I can simply duplicate the variables from the orignal title block to get them working on the new one?
Thanks!

The topic is drafting templates and video #4 covers titleblocks and should give some ideas on your questions.
1. As John advised, add your image outside of the titleblock, juts leave a cell large enough for the image.
2 & 3. are covered in the video.

I tried modifying an existing A3 template (I backed up the original template folder), but now when I try to create a new A3 drawing, I get error message 'Incorrect template specification. The units of the part and the template do not match.'.
I'm sure I only modified the titleblock and nothing else.. how to get past this error msg?

Btw, I checked also your video while Googling around how to modify templates, it was good source of info! Thanks for that.
RE: Defining a title block on NX 9
Now that I have my template working, is there a way to update existing drawings to take on the new template?
