How do you create/edit automatic text in NX Drafting?
Solution
To create self-populating annotation, the steps are as follows:
1. In the component of Master Model top level part file, create a attribute. In the image below, I created "Piece" in the assembly file (component of the specification) and assigned the value "Bench Assembly".
2. In the top level (specification) file, I created an Attribute in the Attribute Templates dialog (File --> Utilities --> Attribute Templates) using the prefix DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_. This prefix is necessary for any attribute you want to auto-populate. Do not set a Default Value:
3. Create a Note using the Relationships option, select the Insert Object Attribute option and then select the Master Model assembly file:
Place the note on the drawing:
If you enter the attribute template in a Title Block of a drawing/sheet template file, it will update when the template is added to a Master Model:
