Automatically fill title block of drawing template

[bxbzq]

I searched the forum trying to figure out how to get the title block in my template filled automatically and found this link:

http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=228567

I followed what John suggested and could not proceed at

selecting the 'component' of the master part model as the 'object' (make sure you select the component and not the body).

The problem is there is no option for me to select "component" of the master part model. I can only select views in the created drawing.

Anybody shed light?

No success so far.
John, can you help?

What version of NX are you using? And exactly what sort of information are you looking to add to the Drawing title block?

Have you select the assembly navigator first?

Most of these items can be covered by creating your Drawing Title Block using what's called 'Automatic Text'. You can find how to use these by going to the NX Help files and look in...

Home -> CAD -> Drafting -> Drawing Automation -> Adding attributes to drawing templates
