date and drawn name update

how to update the date & name automatically using system name and date in ug nx 7.5

 

[JohnRBaker]

You'll need to create some custom applications using either KF ro NX Open routines to accomplish that as there are no built-in or automated schemes to cover this sort of 'data'.

Try this:

In modeling, create a string expresion with name=date and formula = dateTimeString( "localTime?", True ).
In drafting, create a note, expand "Symbols", change category to "Relationships", insert expresion, select "date".

Create a custom comand in NX requires the runtime license for C or KBE ($$$$)
Hope this help you

The problem with the Expression-bassed function is that this is NOT a one-time capture of the current date/time. In the future, whenever there's a global update of this part file, your 'date' expression will update to the then-current date/time.

To avoid the update of the note's date, try the macro in the atachment:

You could make simple tasks like this using macros (if you have VB knowledge), and it doesn't need aditional licences.
