Patterned Dwg Formats, NX9

(OP)
Will these translate into DXF format ok?

I tried the Symbol method for building one and tested it. It didn't translate at all so that ones checked off the list as an option.

RE: Patterned Dwg Formats, NX9

Since you are using NX 9, I'd suggest that you take advantage of the "borders and zones" and "drawing titleblock" tools.

Ok.. took a quick look and really like that the formats snap to the sheet size changes. That's excellent.

But, can the title block be made to follow it? That I didn't have success with.
I also figure special text like units and projection symbols wouldn't either?

TIA

The title block can follow in NX10 (it was added to allow an associative origin).
For the units & projection symbol, I would suggest using the automated text.
I made a series of videos for our Vimeo site a year ago about drawing templates, I can't remember which one covered the automated text:

Yes, using patterns in NX9, the pattern does translate into DXF.
