NX 6 - View letter 'T' already in use (but it's not!) 1

[WillFromFlorida]

I have a 9 sheet drawing with views A-R used. When I try to make my last view letter T, I get the error message. I have checked the tree and everything pointed out in earlier threads on the topic. I also had another guy here at work with many years of UG experience check through the file, he looked for about an hour and can not determine why letter T is taken.

Anyone know of anywhere else I can look for this type of property?

If you are sure no other view is using the letter, I'd try a part cleanup (specifically the "delete unused objects" option). Perhaps a view was assigned the letter, then deleted and NX still has a reference hanging around...

Also, I'd check that the letter hasn't been added to the "exclude" list. "T" isn't on the exclusion list by default, but maybe someone added it.

Have you gone into...

Preferences -> View Label...

...and checked to see what is shown in the last entry on the dialog, the next 'Letter'?

Also check...

Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> General -> Standard

...and then in your chosen standard...

Drafting Standard -> View Label -> General

...check to see if 'T' is shown in the 'Allowed Letters' or is NO In the 'Excluded Letters' entry widget.

Thank you, I really appreciate the quick response from both of you. I double checked all the defaults before I tried the part cleanup utility. I found that the part cleanup fixed the problem, and I narrowed down the options to determine which cleanup action was fixing the issue, and it was the "Clean Drafting Objects" alone.

Thanks again, I frequently learn things from both of you when searching the forum for tips on NX6.

...it was the "Clean Drafting Objects" alone.

I'll file that away for future reference, thanks for the update!
