When adding a PMI Note to some 3D models the legacy Note command dialog is displayed, rather than the simplified Note dialog, introduced in NX1980.
This happens with some parts created in earlier versions of NX, but not all.
Solution
NX parts that were created with an NX Font (for example. 'blockfont') as the default will cause the legacy Note command dialog to be displayed, because the 'Note' command in NX1980 (and later versions) does not support the use of NX Fonts.
To resolve this issue, change the default font stored in the part file, select '
File - Preferences - PMI - Common - Lettering - Text Parameters' and change the default font from the
NX Font to the required
Standard Font.
(Note: Setting the Customer Default '
Drafting - General/Setup - Miscellaneous - Fonts to Use ' to '
Standard Fonts Only' will not change this behavior, as the default font stored in the part file overrides this customer default.)
When the PMI Note command is selected the new Note user interface will be displayed.
The Note command dialog is simplified with most of the functionality accessible via the ribbon bar.
When the part file is saved the default font will be set and the new NOTE UI will be used from this point onwards.
