Part Attribute Error
Part Attribute Error
(OP)
Hello,
During the drawing creation process I am trying to run a format tool (to setup the drawing template) and I keep getting the error shown in the attached screenshot. When I go and find the Part Attribute "CONTEXT" within the component's properties it is locked and thus impossible to set to "DRAWING" as the error suggests.
Does anyone have any ideas at all?
I am using NX 9 with TC 10.
Thanks!
Jim

When you use that template in will automatically populate the value from the attribute in your model part.
Here's a video we did about attributes for drawing templates.

Set the attribute "CONTEXT" to "DRAWING"
Does it want you to create a new attribute named "CONTEXT" and set the value to "DRAWING"? Or possibly, rename the "CONTEXT" attribute to "DRAWING"? Again, in what file? The message box is showing an "information" icon, not even a "warning" or "error" - so is this a necessary step, or just something to be aware of?
If this "CONTEXT" attribute is something necessary for your drawings, why isn't it set up in the template already?
