I have notes on a drawing that use system level attributes for their values, such as sheet numbers and sheet scale. I am trying to add those notes to a custom symbol, but it seems like NX is not allowing me to select items to add to custom symbol if they use a system level attribute.

Does anyone know how to add a note using a system level attribute to a custom symbol?

I also tried making a single cell tabular note and then putting the syntax for sheet scale in the cell. But the second I put that syntax in the cell, NX will no longer let me put that tabular note into a custom symbol.
 
Hi Pat_db,

If you would look in the documentation NX Help Documentation, it states that annotation that uses system attributes cannot be used in Custom Symbols.

Thank you for your answer!

For future reference, which documentation are you referring to? I searched this forum and several others trying to find this answer before posting the question.
 
The NX Help Docs that comes with the software or is available on the Siemens GTAC website if you have a valid webkey account. Edited my post above with the specific verbage.
