Sheet name as an associative text in drafting?

[borosr]

Dear All!

I have a question for you in "theme of attributes".
Know somebody a result for the next problem?

I would like to use the name of the current Sheet by a text which is associative. (Can I make it as an attribute?)

For example:
If the current Sheet name is " Drawing_1" on the navigator, I would like to see "Drawing 1" as a text.

Thank you in advance!

Try this
<W@DB_SHEET_NAME>
as text.

"<W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER>" will return the actual sheet number; I don't know how to get the sheet name, sorry. Perhaps someone else will have a solution.

For NX 5, we have added the following 'automatic text' items:

Number of the current sheet: <W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER>

Total number of sheets: <W@$SH_NUMBER_OF_SHEETS>

Numerator of the sheet scale: <W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_NUMERATOR>

Denominator of the sheet scale: <W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_DENOMINATOR>

Size of the current sheet: <W@$SH_SHEET_SIZE>

Units of the current sheet: <W@$SH_SHEET_UNITS>

Projection angle of the current sheet: <W@$SH_SHEET_PROJECTION_ANGLE>

Master Model drawing sheet part name: <W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME>

Sheet part name: <W@$SH_PART_NAME>

Note that we may add additional items in the future.

Thank you very much for the reply!
Yes, I know these attributes.
I tried them, but they are not OK.

I hope Siemens will add this attribute to NX in the future.

Thank you!!!

What is wrong with the attributes?

Using a string on your drawing like @Sheet_name should work where Sheet_name = 'Drawing '+ W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER.

We've created our own DB attribute for it which is automatically created when we run our title block program. <W@DB_DAM_DRAWING_NAME>
I don't there is an built in attribute for the sheet name.

Dear loslib!

All attributes work fine! No problem.

But, this doesn't work: <W@$SH_SHEET_NAME>

Have you thougt on that?

The NAME of a drawing sheet is currently not available as it's own 'attribute' and therefore cannot be accessed using the scheme used for other system or user defined attributes.
