Reorder Sheets In Drafting UG NX7.5.5.4

[GirishKamble]

I am working on drawing and somehow sheets are not in order. Example - In title block it's showing 2/2 (two of two) for SH1 (sheet 1 in part navigator) and 1/2 (one of two) for SH2 (sheet 2 in part navigator). I am using system attributes for the sheet number and the total number of sheets. Is there any way I can correct it. I do not want to override the system attributes to make manual entry. I have checked few posts from past but didn't find the answer yet. Is there any one who came across same problem and solved it.

If you're just trying to 'reorder' the way the views are displayed in the Part Navigator, that can be done by just editing the names of the views as they appear in Part Navigator. Now these changes won't happen immediately, but if you leave Drafting and go to Modeling and then back to Drafting they will have updated.

Now if what you want to do is edit the actual 'Sheet Number', as it effects the '1 of 2' and '2 of 2 designation, we've added an option to do that starting with NX 8.0. So in your example, if you were running NX 8.0 or newer version, you would simply go to the Part Navigator, select any of the Drawing sheets, press MB3, select the 'Edit Sheet...' option and you could then change your sheet 1/2 to 2/2 and your 2/2 to 1/2.

Thanks John. Unfortunately We are still using NX7.5.5.4. We are planning to upgrade to NX9. But it will take some time. Thanks.

This is how I have approached this problem:

Create a "scratch drawing. Move all views on SH 1 (per the navigator) to the new drawing. Move all views on SH 2 to SH 1. Move all views on the scratch drawing to SH 2. Delete the scratch drawing.

This works best if all text on the face of the drawing is associated to a view and the same drawing template is used for all sheets. Any extraneous text such as general notes will have to be re-inserted manually (copy/paste in the note command).

Thanks ewh. Here I have metioned 2 sheets as an example only. I have several sheets and its assembly views so its lot of work.

Same method... clear one sheet at a time and move the correct views to that sheet. You only need the "scratch" sheet as a place to park the views until the appropriate sheet is ready for them.

I only wish we were updating to NX8 soon... as it is, we'll only be updating to 7.5 in the near future. :-(
