    Relationship to object attributes in a note

    Sorry for all these separate posts... Now that it comes to my mind, can a journal do the job? Can I just create my custom symbol, relate the note with my object attributes and make a journal that prompts me to select which object to choose the attributes from?

    Relationship to object attributes in a note

    Cowski (or anyone else), how do you go and drag&drop the template?

    Relationship to object attributes in a note

    I'm trying out the tabular note right now. I was wondering if it's possible to save the tabular note as a template and have it automatically retrieve attributes from each of my components separately?

    Relationship to object attributes in a note

    I thought of the parts list idea; I might be able to modify the format of the parts list in that it works horizontally and not vertically, and it only retrieves information for the component ONLY. But then, a parts list is made for an assembly. I want to identify each component on my drawings...

    Relationship to object attributes in a note

    Hi everyone, As per my company request, I was asked to simplify and make the work a little bit more automated on our drawings by making some custom symbols with all annotation preferences already preset so that we just have to place them and edit them when necessary. One example of custom...

    Huge Project and Whole Drafts to Update (How?)

    I might have done something wrong, if so please correct me. But what jerry1423 suggested only partially works. I tried what he suggested by making a part file of a simple block, then created a drawing of the block on a separate file. I then added a through hole in the middle. The drawing did...

    PMI data not showing on JT2GO

    uwam2ie, I'm not quiet sure I understood what you said. Can you explain a little bit more? Wilson

    PMI data not showing on JT2GO

    Hi everyone, I created a simple block with some PMI data on it, just to test out JT2GO. When the JT file of the block is opened on the JT2GO, it says it has PMI (the PMI column in the assembly tab as a green check mark). However, when i turned on PMI and toggled on multiple/single entity mode...

    Arrangements in drafting

    Ah man that is no cool. So such action will not be supported in NX 7.5? how about newer versions?

    Arrangements in drafting

    Hi everyone, I created a base view of my assembly using one of my arrangements. I created another base view of my assembly using a different arrangement. However, I now want to change the arrangement of my second base view of my assembly. I tried going in the style, base tab, but I can`t change...

    Tolerance Feature Editor in PMI

    Hi everyone, Can anyone explain to me what is the difference between normal feature control frames and datums vs those created using Tolerance Feature Editor? I`ve done some research, and i read that "NX CAM can analyse any PMI data within a part model file and reuse it as input into...

    User Defined PMI

    Hi everyone, I noticed the "User Defined PMI" tool. I was wondering if anyone knows how to define your own PMI? (if that's what the tool is for) Wilson Yau

    Drawing template in the 3D space

    Wow John! Thank so much! I was trying to figure out how to put our company's proprietary information using the PMI tool. I ended up using the "note" in PMI to put it.. Now that I know how to change it, I'll make sure to let my project manager know about it. Thank you so much for your assistance...

    Drawing template in the 3D space

    I'm trying to add the Proprietary information note. However, I can not edit the text. Anyone knows why?

    Drawing template in the 3D space

    Indeed, i misunderstood their meaning when they said to include other information in the 3D space. How will you go to add information traditionally found in a title block? I'm looking at those right now, let's hope i'll find what I'm looking for. thanks for the hint! Best Regards, Wilson Yau

    Drawing template in the 3D space

    Hi everyone, I was asked if I could have our customized drawing template to appear/show in the 3D space. The main reason behind this is we are testing out the PMI tool in NX 7.5 and we are wondering if it's possible to avoid the 2D and have everything on the 3D. Since there are important...

    PMI Annotations

    What if the layer which the sketch is on is made invisible?

    PMI Annotations

    Hi Kapil, that`s not exactly what i was asking for. I was asking if we can display the dimensions as PMI without showing the sketch itself. What i did was putting the PMI on a different layer. It works, but then if another person wants the PMI to show without showing the sketch itself, he will...
