WHAT AND HOW CAN YOU LINK INFORMATION TO NOTES

[aluminum2]

I am wondering what I can link to notes. I am interested in the following right now, but would like to know more.

how to insert a dimension in a note, like from another sheet.

how to insert the file name/location, current date and current sheet.

I am aware of file>properties and then attributes, but I have to type everything in. I am sure UG should know the file name, date, page number or name of sheet or other information without me telling it. Any info would be helpful.

Here are a few past threads to get you started:
thread561-217972
thread561-221681
thread561-228567

These turned up when I did a search on 'automatic text', there might be more that are of use to you. Try varying the search terms a bit to refine your results.

Are you working in master model?
Do you have WAVE?
What version of NX are you on?

I am on NX6 and in when I open up "note" there is a relationship icon - it is a bit hard to find at first, it is the right icon, of four icon, in the "symbol" menu.
You may want to play with that a bit.

also do a search for "part attributes" using the search feature located just above here, and under the name of this thread

A lot of what you can and can't do with notes, attributes and expressions differs as a result of enhancements to more recent versions. So if the above responses and links aren't the be all and end all of what you need then please let's know what version you're running, then we can probably offer a few more tips, or at least tell you what limitations exist.

can you somehow display the date the file was created or last saved?

Aluminum,

Here is a good thread that should answer your questions:

It is the same one cowski posted above

I see, but it was posted
_____________________________

In de expression editor (in modeling -> Ctrl-E) create the following expressions (all type string):

MyDate = StringUpper(dateTimeString("localTime?", True))
MyDay = subString(MyDate, 9, 10)
MyMonth = subString(MyDate, 5, 7)
MyYear = subString(MyDate, 21, 25)
MyTimeStamp = MyDay + " " + MyMonth + " " + MyYear

Then in Drafting pasted this text into a note: <X0@MyTimeStamp>

___________________________





It seems like that is the current date as of now. Is it possible to get the date that the file was either created or last saved?
