Hi All,
I want to reference in an annotation the drawing sheet name using attributes. The attribute will be written into a master model part template. I have tried using object attributes but with no success. Can someone help? The referenced sheet name will be used as sheet number as the inbuilt sheet_number function is not applicable in our environment.
Thanks in advance
 
With 8.5, in the Note dialog - enter the text:
[pre]<W@$SH_SHEET_NAME>[/pre]

The same probably works with other versions of NX, post back with your version information if it doesn't work for you.

I use NX7.5, I am not sure if the control character works. But I will check and post back.
 
Hi cowsky, the control character you mentioned does not work on NX7.5.5.4. Is there any alternate methods?
