In NX7.5 in the customer defaults you can set the plot banner to print the file name, file path, etc.
Is it possible to put these in a note like you can with attributes? (i.e. <W@?SHRINK> )
Also, is there a list somewhere of default attributes like the file name, path, etc that can be used in notes?

For a list of the currently supported 'Automatic Text' elements, open the NX 7.5 Help Library and go to...

Design -> Drafting -> Customizing your Drafting Environment -> Drawing Sheet Templates -> Automatic Text

Thank you. This is a big help.
Do you know about a list of default attributes available in NX?

While there may be a few more here and there, the best list that I've found is the list of system attributes supported by the Parts List function. To find this list, open the NX 7.5 Help Library and go to...

Design -> Drafting -> Tables and Parts Lists -> Parts List -> Parts List Attributes

Note that in the next version of NX we are making major changes to the Attribute functionality and that additional system or 'automatic' attributes are going to be introduced. In fact, via the use of Templates and Catalogs, it will much easier for users to define their own 'automatic' attributes, at least to the extent that they can be pre-defined (but not actually added to your Part file or Objects until you explicitly invoke them) attributes with pre-defined (and enforced) values/ranges/limits of various types. Also it will be easier to mix attributes and expressions with each other (in many respects, they will almost be interchangeable).
