RE: "$" prefix of an attribute
The drawing is based on a master model and the views are of the template and not the inner parts.
For example in the below assembly structure, the views in "assem_dwg" will be of "assem_dwg" and not of "assem".
- assem_dwg
- assem
- part1
- part2
There is already a built in "$DESCRIPTION" attribute and I don't know how it would react with the "DESCRIPTION" attribute I want to use for propagating the information of the assembly and parts to the drawing.Thank You

RE: "$" prefix of an attribute
In pre NX8.5, what you should do is think through your partslists, what attributes shall we use in the parts list. Then you open the model template and create these attributes, and you set the value to "-". ( Example A_Descript = - Where i used an "A_" to differ all "our" attributes from the other.)
Then all your parts based on this template has the spelling of the attribute title 100% correct and all you need to do is edit/replace the the value ("-") with some correct info.
