NX 8.5.2.23 Drafting Standard doesn't seems to work !

[rocket100]

Hello Fellows,

I have created my own customize standard for the drafting and also created new template. Under customer defaults the drafting standard is the one I have created but If I create a model and come onto drafting sheet, the dimensions are appearing as NX default not the one I have customized but If the drafting file is separate from the model file it works fine.

Would appreciate your solutions !!

Thanks

regards

Rodney

8.5.2.23 ? Didn't realise 8.5.2 was out.

Remember that settings like this in the Customer Default will ONLY apply to NEW part files being created from scratch. If you're using any sort of template file, it must be edited so that it will use your new standard as it will not happen automatically unless the template itself was created AFTER you updated your Drafting 'standard'.

So if you do have a template file which was created prior to your changing the drafting settings, open the template file itself, go into Drafting and then go to...

Tools -> Drafting Standard...

...where you can explicitly select the desired Drafting standard. Make your choice, hit OK and then save the template file.

When you create the drafting in the model, you are not using the drafting template. When you create a new drafting file separate from the model, your template is being utilized as the base.

Thank you every one for your replies. If a drafting in a imported model file such as STP OR IGS format, it work on a default settings but creating a new model within NX and drafting on a same file should not use the default settings as I have finally figured it out.

Customer defaults > Drafting > Drawing > General > Use setting from standard

It works with the customize settings of drafting.

Thanks once again
