Summary


Details

If some of the content of your drawing is not displayed, ie, tabular notes, title block, etc..., but you only see a letter X displayed, there is a good chance that the X represents Legacy Pattern, which means the master file is missing. 

How do you make the Legacy Pattern display? 

Solution

If you go to Home Tab --> Pattern (Legacy) --> List Pattern Errors, NX would list the master file name, for example: 

 Error on Part: title_d 

 Part File Not Found 

After locating the file, you can load it 1st in the session or set the variable UGII_PATDIR to the folder where the file is. 

In Teamcenter, you need to import the master pattern file in Teamcenter and then save it with "Pattern Data Only" turned on, then import the drawing files that used the pattern.

 

Load the drawing file --> Go to Pattern --> Replace Pattern --> Select the existing pattern in the file --> OK and then enter  the name of the pattern file you imported into the database.
