    Drawing: is month/year enough or is the day really necessary ?

    This is just a question if anybody else uses month/year ? I only ask the other NX-code question in "Siemens official forum". Why big companies demand days ? When project is created: It is done in like 1/2year: - Part 1: 1.2017 month - Part 2: 2.2017 month and such. No need for high accuracy...

    Drawing: is month/year enough or is the day really necessary ?

    I have an NX automatic template that I set every month 1.2017, 2.2017... Now I have to manually enter like 1.1.2017, 2.1.2017, 3.1.2017 and such everyday. So it is a big deal because I draw everyday. Is there autodate code function in NX 9.0 to get day ?

Does the check box mean...
