Drafting templates 1

[Hockeyguy]

Hi,

Are there drawing templates without the "Siemens" in the title block?

Is there a way to crate your own? If so what format is it saved as and which folder do I save it in?

Thanks

Hockeyguy

Just make copies of the supplied templates and edit them to meet your requirements.

Note that in the next version of NX we will be supplying a more complete set of tools which can be used to create, from scratch, Drawing Borders, including integrated Title Blocks containing smart text. Once created there will also be tools necessary to load these new files into the system so that they become your default Drawing Templates.

have a look at the videos I posted in

that should answer your questions on how. It is a bit dated (not sure which version) but it still applies up to NX7.5.

It would be so helpful for me to have a complete "guide" how to make my own template file the right way.
My steps to do it until now:
1.File -> New -> Model -> Blank -> Drafting -> Standard size -> ok
2.Sketching the border, when ready, save as prt file.
3.Editing 'ugs_drawing_templates'
But it's not working well.
Can somebody help me?
Where i have to create my custom border? In modelling or in drafting? The standard templates in NX looks much pro, that i can create.
Is there a step by step tutorial from the first step, until I paste the template and start to create a drawing?
Thank you for your help.
And sorry for my bad english.

is it possible to change the RAR to ZIp?

 

[Arkance/PhoeNX]

no, the video files are too large when zipped. the rars are about 1/10th the size of a zip file.
