NX10 - Can I convert a drafting sheet from German to English??

NX10 - Can I convert a drafting sheet from German to English??

(OP)
Hello,
I have some prints that are native UG that came from Germany. We want to use these prints moving forward, is there a quick way to translate the German notes and text to English? My thought was to copy the German sheet, and paste it back into the drafting environment to keep the views and dimensions as they were originally drawn, but change the language to English.

thanks.

RE: NX10 - Can I convert a drafting sheet from German to English??

As you say, copy/paste the sheets.
Then have some friend create a journal that lets you select notes/ dimensions/ ... edit the text , maybe with the help of google translate , into a English text.
I see no better method.

I have been thinking of placing different language texts on different layers. This would work fine for notes but not for labels since the label is attached to some object , - the leader and the text is "one object", I cannot move the leader only to layer x and the text to layer y.
- I need as many "labels" as i have languages. The same applies of course to dimensions etc.


Regards,
Tomas
