Thanks Joy for reply...this i am aware of , what i want is how to get the details inside NX in a note? example : I ahve few custom names need these details in a PMI Note or Table in modeling side.

How to extract Part navigator properties to a Note or excel within NX? Part navigator properties - Name,Layer,Status,Created by,Created date etc.

These things are easy in theory,but when companies have millions of drawings/models its bit difficult to convert/integrate legacy data into new formats. Configuration control also another matter need to be simplified without too much issues.

You just ask them whether they want to control the profile from specific datum's.I guess X,Y & Z are datum derived from casting surface...

@John , I guess he is talking about menu icon names...

@Travelled , posting entire print may not be good idea.

@John, Not old timers but many of my colleagues who are just 7 to 8 years experience in NX [UG?] still call it as Unigraphics..NX is rarely used ; )

Check whether Attributes IGNORE_MEMBER or REFRENCE_COMPONET will work.You can find them in File - properties [Individual parts]. Not sure whether you have to add this attributes manually.

Best of luck John. Big loss to NX community..John was a great help for many years.

Not sure how it works in Solidworks, build a material library. Easy to apply/change materials.

If you have tool available to pull data from CAD model you add Material/Weight and other attributes automatically. Another option we use is add is if there is any critical dimension in particular sheet.

Tried Perpendicular & Horizontal dimensions? If nothing works better to add a reference line.

Is it possible to show only notes in a Model view when opening JT? This is for PMI, Notes are in a separate layer but when opening this specific view model also visible along with notes. Any setting can be changed in JT configuration file? NX 8.5.3

^ That type of issues are always considered and there are strict quality process. i am talking about simple parts which are used repeatedly for many years. Any new design will be taken care with all due diligence.
