Hello,
I just stated as a design eng. working for a metal stamping company. I am attempting to fix the dwg file issue, we use and share for drafting. I was emailed this file and it has the ideal dwg template setup we would want. I have been tasked with fixing it or officially getting it to a template standard. I am working on getting the needed permissions to update the PAX file but my attributes issue needs to be fixed before I can officially attempt the template for the rest of the team. below are some items leading me up to this post.
Issue: I have a DWG file that has the title block and a suppressed component file with all the standard attributes we need from the customers. when opening the dwg file, an error pops up due to not having access to the old part- expected, so I go to "replace component" with the new part that I will make the dwg for, my "maintain relations" checkbox is active. the title block does not updated the attributes from the new part that has replaced the old.
Attempts:
-- I have gone in and built a "relationships-> insert (Object/Part) Attribute" picking the one I want. I save it and when working with a new part, I have to go back through it all over again or i have to go in and delete the previous parts information (stuck in the file) and then it updates.
-- I also tried the "import -> attribute -> attribute from one object" but it does not update with a new part inserted. i used the other options as well with no luck.
-- I also looked in to creating an attribute template but did not fine much useful information and what I found, it did not seem to work as I needed.
-- I have gone in to create a full out template with boarders and new title block and file from the NX standard dwg files. This is where I am working to get the needed permissions. I cant see why this option would prevent me from fixing this issue though. once I have attributes fixed, I will be able to work toward the template goal.
Goal: to have my dwg file attributes update when I replace an old component with a new component for a new drawing file.
Note:
--The current title block is a bunch of lines and text boxes, my goal is to make it a real table and title block but fixing the attributes is first step for me. we require alot of information in the title block. I have created a proper table with the needed information but unable to get the updated information when replacing component with a new component.
-- The dwg file is a few years old and has been shared by the team for a few years.
-- from my understanding, these attributes worked before we updated to NX Version 1892 a few months ago.
I know this was a lot, but I wanted to provide what I have tried to help speed up getting a result. I am not finding much information issues on this version of NX or on this matter.
