Parametric Sheet Templates

For a smarter sheet template solution, a tabular note cell can be populated with the following data in NX5: (You must add "<" and ">" around the variables)
  1. Number of the current sheet: W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER
  2. Total number of sheets: W@$SH_NUMBER_OF_SHEETS
  3. Numerator of the sheet scale: W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_NUMERATOR
  4. Denominator of the sheet scale: W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_DENOMINATOR
  5. Size of the current sheet: W@$SH_SHEET_SIZE
  6. Units of the current sheet: W@$SH_SHEET_UNITS
  7. Projection angle of the current sheet: W@$SH_SHEET_PROJECTION_ANGLE
  8. Master Model drawing sheet part name: W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME
  9. Sheet part name: W@$SH_PART_NAME

These items are from a post in BBSNotes by John Baker. If you'd like make an addition to the list, you're more than welcome to do so thru comments.

Hi
I'm using NX5 & I'm a greenie.
Love your Blog.
Can I have all the sub components read an attribute of their top level parent? Such as list the job # once in the parent & all the sub components read this for their title blocks.

Thanks,
James

Hi,

This is really a good option.

Is there any procedure available to do the same in NX4
