Automatic Grid Refrencing

[paddy074]

Hi,

I am trying to find out if it is possible to create some kind of automated system for applying grid references to sections/notes etc. in NX7.5?

This is currently done manually and takes up a considerable amount of time when a view, note or sheet is to be changed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks,

patrick

Before you get too involved in creating some custom written program(s), keep in mind that starting with NX 8.0 that sort of thing is now part of the Drawing creation functionality if you create your Drawing templates using the new Drawing Border and Title Block tools.

I made a video a while back about attributes for drawings and it shows how to do what John has mentioned from 3min 30s:

You will have to create borders using the border/zone functuionality:
