Hello, I have a question about NX 12 Sheet Templates:
1. I created a template based upon the out of the box ones that Siemens gives you, and changed some of the border settings to get 1-16 on D size horizontally, and A-K vertically. I have un-checked the option to show the sheet size in the border, however, every time that I add a new sheet by clicking on the icon in the palette it drops the sheet size into the very last cell of the border, where "16" would be.

Does anyone have the fix for this? Is there an additional setting I need to change?

I solved my own issue... For those who would like to know, in "borders and zones", you will need to click the drop down arrow at the bottom of the menu and turn the option off there, then save your file.
 
The screenshot shows that you have made the change in the customer defaults; you need to make this change in the template files themselves. Open your template file(s) and go to drafting preferences -> drawing format -> borders and zones -> border display and turn off the "display sheet size in border" option then save the template part. Future drawings created based on this template will have the option set. The customer default settings only affect brand new "blank" parts, it does not affect parts created based on template files.

Edit: you beat me to it, glad you got it sorted.
