nx8.5 drafting, base view scale options

nx8.5 drafting, base view scale options

nx8.5 drafting, base view scale options

(OP)
In NX8.5 drafting, When adding a base view to a drawing, I would like to add different scale factors to the "scale" drop down menu. Does anyone know which file I need to edit to do this? Or do I need to add something to my ugii_env.dat?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

RE: nx8.5 drafting, base view scale options

I think that it is hardcoded. We asked the same to GTAC a few years ago.( NX5 or NX6)

RE: nx8.5 drafting, base view scale options

Your drawing scale can be controlled by an expression, you can probably figure something out using that.

Bummer about it being hard-coded. Expressions could work, but it is probably just easier to set the scale (by picking ratio and typing it in) than setting up expressions to use in the part.

thanks,

Dan

RE: nx8.5 drafting, base view scale options

I'd think you could either use a true drawing template or make it as simple as an empty start part (same thing, more or less) and have the Expressions already defined in the template/start part. Do it once in said template/start part and save it and it's done. Beats selecting ratio and typing it in manually for the next umpteen years. Yeah, I'm lazy that way. thumbsup2
