Open your User Documentation and do a search on 'Automatic Text'. The second item on the list of results should take you to a list of automatic text elements which you can insert into a drawing which will reflect the values as defined in that list, such as part name, drawing sheet size, current sheet number, total number of sheets, drawing units, etc.

The 'Automatic Text' feature, at least using the list of items found in the User Documentation that I pointed to you in my previous replay, was implemented in NX 5.0.
