    NX11 Locked Attrubutes

    So now I will add some more here. After doing a little "playing", I have discovered the following. You can reference attributes that are driven by the DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_ prefix in a standard note. NX converts it to something like <WRef1*0@ATTRIBUTE> where the actual attribute reads...

    NX11 Locked Attrubutes

    Jerry, I am highly confident that they are not. It does not explain why they are locked in the template with Title Block function, but not locked in the template that only contains text. Richard

    NX8.5 Weld Symbol Tail

    Hello All, I have spent the last 1/2 hour reading existing topics on the NX Weld Symbol. This is prompting a new question. Is there a way to customize the size of items like the tail of the symbol and to be able to add items to a symbol like a racetrack to reference a general note or an upside...

    NX8.5 Custom Symbols and Attributes

    Hello All, Has anyone tried using Custom Symbols that have attributes (Properties) in them? Here is what I have. I have a GRIP program that looks for attributes on race tracks and parallelograms. This program builds a table with the zone locations based on attributes that are assigned to the...

    TABLES AND ATTRIBUTES

    Check to see if your DB_DWG_TEMPLATE attributes are blank and in the UNSET category. A second issue could ne that the value has a chached value assigned to it. According to GTAC, you can run a part cleanup to fix that. Richard

    Thanks all for the feedback. I have been evperiencing some issues with macros so I created a journal to test adding attributes to models and drawings. Now I want to add them to a User Tool.

    Tabular Note in a Group (NX8.5)

    Hello All, I am creating groups for our formats. When I create a group, NX does not select tabular notes when creating a new group. I tried <Ctrl> A and tried picking the note individually. Neither work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Richard

    Okay, I have been messing with this for too long now and it is time to ask you for any other suggesions. First, I tried cowski's method of simply linking DESCRIPTION to DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_DESCRIPTION using Reference Text and Part Attributes. This did not work. First, it wont let you use a part...
