The initial secondary number is not in valid format

For NX8.5 and NX9: 
Drafting -> Drawing, General tab: 

Make sure Initial Sheet Number and Secondary Number are not both numeral or both letter.



For NX10: 
Drafting Standards -> Drawing Format -> Sheet, in the "Name and Number" tab: 

Make sure Initial Sheet Number and Secondary Number are not both numeral or both letter.
