NX9 Drafting - Change Drawing View Part Member
(OP)
Hi,
I've created a drawing which has views referencing the part which is a component of the drawing file
Assembly Hierarchy:
Drawing.prt
--->Part.prt
The problem is I would like to add geometry in the modelling application to help define areas on the part, but when I do so, I cannot see the areas in the views. I understand that this is because the view is still referencing directly back to the part and therefore will not show me the lines in the model "space" of the drawing.
How can I change the view to reference the drawing.prt instead of the part.prt?
Thanks,
Jeff

Alternatively, can you use a drafting sketch in your current view to add the geometry that you need? If so, it will avoid some drafting rework.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I had created the drawing (actually 28 or them!) referencing the part instead of the drawing. That is why I am trying to find out if I can recover by changing the reference.
If it isn't possible as a menu operation, would it be possible to run a journal to do this?
Thanks,
Jeff

If you have write access to the part files, you might add the geometry in the part file on its own layer. Then you could use "layer visible in view" on the drawing to show/hide the geometry as necessary. Probably a better solution would be to use a drafting sketch to add the geometry directly to the view where you need it.
