Hey all,

I have a few questions regarding the usage of drawing-headers (title-block)
Mainly about the user info in there.

I would like to know from you (in your company)how you handle;

"Creation Date", "Created by", "Reviewed by", "Approved by" information.
Also with new revisions of drawings.

Who is shown as Creator on the Drawing and which Date is used as Creation Date.
Is this information changed in the Drawing-header with a new revision? or do you keep the original information in the Header?
Creator and Date of the Revision, where is this information shown on the Drawing?
Also, when you have different engineers for Model and Drawing creation, which name will be shown on the Drawing?

Thanks in advance :)

The creation information does not change with a revision, except a change in revision sequencing from prototype (alpha) to production (numeric).
Any revision information is handled in a revision block.

Titleblock (initial information) is in lower right corner, revision history is in upper right corner.

We haev multiple lines for drawing sign-off: Designer, Engineer, Checker, Approver1, Approver2 and Approver3. Four signatures usually required to get a drawing approved and into the release cycle.

(I am on Creo, not NX, but we capture the initial information in part relations and parameters. I would assume NX can do the same with attributes. I used to be on UG2 (V3-V18) and had a GRIP program that would capture and create attributes for this information.)
