NX8 drafting templates - unlocking title blocks 3

[ami1]

Help!
I am trying to edit the default templates so a to replace the Siemens logo with another one to make a quick template, but it won't let me, it is permanently locked, the unlock box is greyed out on that cell.
I consult for lots of companies so I am forever editing title blocks, and it has never been a problem until this new system.

There must be a simple way to do this, rather than having to define my own from scratch??
Help appreciated!

Regards
Andrew

Hello Mantas,
I have been through all that with a fine tooth comb. I cannot find how to unlock and edit the cells on the sample templates.
There are detailed instruction to make them from tabular notes, but not to unlock and edit existing ones.
The help is not helping me, hence asking here.

Once you made a tabular note/notes into a title block there is no way to edit it.

There is a workaround though.
Add a new tabular note.
Double click the title block.
On the Define Title Block dialog, select the Select Tables and select the new tabular note (therefore adding it) and then deselect the existing tabular note (removing it).
You can then change the old tabular note.
Right click the cell with the image and you can then Import a new image.

Once the tabular note is edited correctly, reverse the process, so you add the old tabular note and remove the new one. You will have to respecify the title block fields.

Hi ami1
All objects are on layer 256 which is set to "visible". Change to selectable then it can be changed.
