<W@$H_PART_NAME>, etc not working in Nx8.5
<W@$H_PART_NAME>, etc not working in Nx8.5
(OP)
Hello,
I have some templates which I created in Nx7.5. I used some things like <X.4@C> and <W@$H_PART_NAME> etc. These still function fine when opened with Nx8.5, however when I try to create a new <W@$H_PART_NAME> and such in Nx8.5 it does not seem to be allowing it. I have read earlier posts about using the customer defaults "Plot Banner" which I sort of looked into, but at this point with templates already set up I would like to use the <****> options.
Thanks in advance for your help.

For the sheet attributes make sure you have them formatted correctly, here some of them are taken from a post by JohnRBaker from this thread Custom drawing title blocks
<W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER> Sheet number of the current sheet
<W@$SH_NUMBER_OF_SHEETS> Number of sheets in the current part
<W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_NUMERATOR> Numerator of the sheet scale
<W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_DENOMINATOR> Denominator of the sheet scale
<W@$SH_SHEET_SIZE> Size of the current sheet
<W@$SH_SHEET_UNITS> Units of the current sheet
<W@$SH_SHEET_PROJECTION_ANGLE> Projection angle symbol of the current sheet
<W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME> Master Model drawing sheet part name
<W@$SH_PART_NAME> Sheet part name

In response to your thread mentioned above, I have used <X.4@> . Between the @ and the > write what you have named your desired value from the column "Name" within expressions.
For example- In expressions under the name column I have OAL. On my print I wish to have the OAL value within the title block. In the area of the title block where I want the value to automatically be I write <X.4@OAL> . This has always worked for me except for now it is not working with Nx8.5
Dsikes,
I have seen this post before. I have used some of those before. All have worked except now with Nx8.5 any <****> commands don't seem to be working.

You gave Dsikes a star for his reply, however It still does not answer the question for the title of this thread. I need to know why the <****> commands are not working with Nx8.5

Are you using the master model method (the model is a component in the drawing file) or are the model and drawing in the same part file?

The model and the drawing are in the same .prt file.

Have you set up your title block with the new "title block" tool, or are you using a title block made up of dumb curves?

Perhaps it will work when you fix your typo.

But seriously... My apologies for wasting all of our time, if it means anything I also wrote it wrong in the title of this thread... Geez... and any time I mentioned it within the thread.
