NX10 pre-made title blocks for each drawing size

NX10 pre-made title blocks for each drawing size

NX10 pre-made title blocks for each drawing size

(OP)
New to NX 10
Do I REALLY have to make a new title block table for each drawing size template I need to make for my company?
Hasn't someone made up a bunch of pre-made title block tables that I can choose from and paste into my drawing template file?
Am I the only one not interested in the mind-numbing task of creating title blocks manually?

RE: NX10 pre-made title blocks for each drawing size

Short answer: Yes.

I don't know about NX10, but for previous releases, there /are/ OOTB templates with the Siemens logo in the title block that you can replace. Whether the title block suits your purposes is up to you.

Personally, I have never worked anywhere that produces drawings professionally who did not have a title block that suited their needs, information, and had their own company logo within. There are times when you need to use a title block that conforms to a standard, such as government work, when they want you to use a certain title lock format. Otherwise, you basically do it yourself.

It is a one-time thing that you then never have to touch again - it's a small fraction of setting up your template file to suit your company standards. I don't see how it's such a arduous task.

Short answer: not really

With the new title block tools you can make one title block that will update to the current sheet size.

As cowski said, in NX10, you can make one title block, that will work for all sizes.
Create one size and when you change the sheet size, the title block & borders will automatically update for the new size.
