move notes and tables to new sheet
move notes and tables to new sheet
(OP)
Back in the old days patterns were used to create title blocks and boarders. Instead of trying to update the pattern every time we have to make a change it would be nice to move everything to a sheet that uses the newer style for these items. The only issues I'm having is how to move notes and tables, i.e. parts list, etc, to the new sheet. An easy work around for notes is to edit them and copy the text then paste them into a new note, clunky but effective. Parts lists cannot be copied while the variable UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST is on. Is there an way to move the parts list to a new sheet without turning this variable off or am I stuck with patterns?

in short : Use View Dependent Edit to convert the Partslist from view dependent ( sheet1) to model dependent, then model dependent to view dependent on sheet2.
This will keep the associated ballons associated. The balloons will stay as is on their respective sheets.
( A view dependent object is only visible in a specific view, A model dependent object is visible in all views. The partslist is view dependent on the drawing, which is a special type of view.)
open the sheet with the partslist. RMB on the "Sheet1" in the Part Navigator - View Dependent Edit...- View to Model - Select the Partslist, OK , OK
Open the "Sheet2", RMB on the "Sheet2" in the Part Navigator - View Dependent Edit...- Model to View - Select the Partslist node in the Part Navigator, OK OK.

After a quick search through the usual areas (computer->properties->advanced system setting->environment variables, batch files), the UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST is not to be found.
Going to re-create the parts list and call it a day. Thanks for all the replies, this is a great forum.

- Do you have the partslist Inside a TRI View ?!?! - as in the attached image ?
I have never seen that before.
The method described works when the partslist is ON the drawing plane. We use it every week. Our (inhouse-)standard states that the partslist always must be on the last sheet-s, so if somebody needs to insert a new sheet, the partslist must move. ( NX7.5 cannot insert sheets in between, they always add as the "last".)
