Hi,
I get this message "drawing sheet number is not in valid format" when I try to insert sheet in drafting mode.
I don't get this message when I create new part file from temps. I have this problems only when I directly open a step file and save it as a part file and try to create drafting views within.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
RG

Hi Did you try to convert the step file with the dedicated "external" translator proved with your NX installation?
I Always prefer using these as the seem to be delivering a better "Cleaned" partfile.

Hi Ron,
thanks for your quick reply. I should do that in future.
The reason why didn't to was, when I import any assembly file it loses its assembly nature. But if I directly open then I get all the structures.
May be there should some other way.
Thanks.
