--------------- 
When setting up title blocks and drawing templates in NX using the Siemens templates as a starting point, how can a user insert their own logo as an image?



Solution

o Open the desired template file in Drafting

o  Set Layer 256 to selectable from visible only

o Select the existing Title Block and use MB3-> Edit Definition


o Set dialog focus to the "Tables" section at the top (the entire title block highlights)


o Use <Shift+MB1> to de-select the tabular note section containing the logo (SIEMENS cell)


o OK to close Define Title Block dialog


o Select the cell with the SIEMENS logo and MB3-> Edit Cell and delete contents


o Select the Tabular Note cell  again and use MB3-> Import-> Image and it allows you to select a JPG/PNG/TIF to import into the cell.


o Once the image is in place you can select the Title Block again and re-add the tabular note section back into the definition by using the Tables-> Select Tables panel.


Note - you may need to adjust the image size outside of NX in order to bring it in at the desired size and clarity. This may take a bit of trial and error. To preview the size NX wants to display the image at, use 
Insert-> Image-> Open to select it from the file system onto the drawing sheet.
