Callouts for material, quantity and sheet metal preferences?

[Ritchie]

Hello NX community,

I'm working on an assembly made out of several sheetmetal components. I use the master model approach to make individual drawings of these parts. I would like to have as much information as possbile "automated" in the drawing file. I wonder if and how it would be possible to show the following information in the drawing:

- Material of the referenced part
- Weight of the referenced part
- Quantity of the part in the master assembly
- K-factor (neutral factor) of the referenced sheetmetal part
- Bend radius of the referenced sheetmetal part
- Thickness of the referenced sheetmetal part

I know these last two items can also be pointed out by means of measurements, but it would be nice to be able to show this information in a table on the drawing as well.

If you know the answer to any of these questions it would be very appreciated if you can post the relevant call outs as well!

Thanks in advance!

Nothing, except the fact that it doesn't work anymore as soon as I turn it into a drawing template.

For your reference, and for anyone else who want to have a go at it, I have attached the drawing file and the dummy part.

Just define the title block, turn it into a reference drawing template and see what happens if you use this template to make a new drawing of a component.

Here is the link to the drawing file, the dummy part is in the previous post.

When I turn it into a drawing template mass just keeps on displaying the value of the dummy part. It does not update!
