Hi ! First a Big THANK YOU for this Great video, very useful ! But since I had to make a big effort and watch it many times until I finally got the same result and understood reasonably I'd like to live some suggestions. 01 - One thing that really helped me is that I had to see other videos on the same topic ( there are very few..) that with different approaches I could understand it better. 02 - I understand the difficulty of passing knowledge, because since we don't have any doubt on what we know, we normally skip some aspects that it would be crucial for who are receiving the information. For that I suggest that you constantly keep making to yourself the Question: WHY ! This automatically makes us to explain deeper and help the audience a LOT ! Finally just one word: CONGRATULATIONS for your Great Job and all the help. Thank you !
That's exactly how I think too! Because in addition to the ‘how’, there are also the ‘why, what for, when’, etc. The more of these question words are answered, the better the explanation will be.
Hi Russell, it needs to be complete to understand all the relationships. First comes the drawing course, then freeform or sheet metal. I will send out a survey to the subscribers.
Thanks a lot for this video. I would like to know, how did you get so deep in the knowledge of NX? Only practice or special training? Thanks in advance.
In 2000, I started with NX (then Unigraphics). The aim was to automate work steps in the design process. At the time, I also passed on my knowledge in small workshops. Siemens was now allowing me to attend their workshops at any time, and I got to know many other NX trainers. The mutual exchange of experiences helped us all. But complex customer problems also led to new insights time and again. Regarding your question: it is both, practical and theoretical.
Thank you very much for the clear and complete tutorial. Can the template be used when the drawing is created embedded in the master model .prt file? (3D and DWG in the same file)?
Yes, do all steps as shown, but without the prefix (DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_). Then create a model and switch to the application drafting. Here NX ask for a template (entry at the top: Use Template) You will find the learnNX template in the list.
I'm trying to create my own template in the student version of NX 2312. Unfortunately I still can't and my template still doesn't appear in the drawing templates after restarting NX. I followed all the steps according to your great video and went through the process again several times. So I have a question, is it even possible to save your own template in the student version? Isn't this one of the limitations of the student version? Thank you in advance for your time. Your channel has been a great help to me in my NX journey.
Today I tried to create a template and I had problems linking the weight attribute. I could not get the mass attribute showing in title block. It shows the right value in assembly navigator but nothing in properties after update mass. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Hi An error appears at 38:13: "This file already exists, and you do not have permission to update it." I do not know what is wrong with it. I cannot save it as a template.
Hello, one more question: I've notice in my NX1899 that if I assign a material to the part before I create a drawing, then the material is correctly visualized in the cell and when I change it in the part, it is changed in the drawing. But, if I don't assign any material before I create a drawing, in the cell there is justthe text and it doesn't change even when I assign a material to the part.
Hi Paolo, while the drawing frame is being loaded, the attributes of the part are linked to the fields of the drawing frame. If there is no attribute, there is no link. 🙁In other words: fill attributes beforehand and if only Test123 is inserted. I think this video will help you: learnnx.com/course-assemblies/b2a-14-2/ regards, Jürgen
From a distance, I can only recommend checking all the steps again. The functions have been available since NX 10, the folder structure has changed somewhat since then. The instructions were recorded with NX2206.
At Step 3 you show the creation of folding marks for an A3 size sheet. How can we make this sketch in such a way that is creates the fold marks for all sheet sizes from A3 to A0 in the correct positions?
I don't think it's necessary. I have always folded all sizes with these folding marks. I start at the title block and zigzag fold every 190 mm. Then the second last fold follows to the left-hand edge of the sheet with a distance of 210 mm and the last fold in between.
I have question can we use this template in opened part like its necessary to create new drg file i mean with ctrl+shift+D can we add this template in that So we dont need to make new file is this possible? ❤
Yes and No. Press Ctrl+Shift+D and select Standard Size and A3 as the sheet size. Then click on File, Import, Part, OK and select the drawing frame. Correct the sheet size. Now you will see the drawing frame, but the automatic filling is broken. You have to fill it in manually by double-clicking. And my recommendation is: work with a separate file for the drawing.
@@learnNX I tried this method but came on issue pax file updated successfully I've cross verify it by opening template pax file but it didnt appear in drawing template 🥲
to step 6: as you select fonts to use you need to restart NX to be able to select them
thx for the video!
Yes of course, settings in the customer defaults are only applied after restarting NX.
WoW WoW , very very completely.
Thanks lot.
Thanks for the nice comment!
Exactly all I needed. The best I have encountered. Good work.
I was already worried whether it was too long. Who wants to watch a 50-minute video on YT today?

Best tutorial i have ever seen deeply explanation 🎉🎉
Thank you very much, good luck.
Thank you, Samira!
Great video. Appreciating your hard work. Expecting videos for other modules too.
thank you very much. It is so useful and complete . Will you teach NX CAM ?

How to find this file?
Thansk.❤❤
You can find the link in the description and here: learnnx.com/downloads. Search for NX B3D-1.
Great!
Thanks for watching.

Plus change the cell for the drawing number in the title block from to , right?

I think I follow all the instructions step by step, but at least I don't see the new format listed under the drawing tab; does it work for NX1899?
Hello Paolo, yes, this has worked since NX 10 and later. Check all the steps again.
Today I tried to create a template and I had problems linking the weight attribute. I could not get the mass attribute showing in title block. It shows the right value in assembly navigator but nothing in properties after update mass. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Hi
An error appears at 38:13: "This file already exists, and you do not have permission to update it."
I do not know what is wrong with it.
I cannot save it as a template.
Hi Samira, try to save it in an other folder, or change the pax-file with the editor. See 39:08

HOW DID YOU OPEN drawing system attributes.txt FILE?
With the "Editor" in Windows
i like it
38:08 The file already exists and you don't have the rights to update it. Don't understand...SOLVED : READ ONLY file...
Repeat the step 14. You need admin rights! Otherwise, copy the folder "template" to a folder to which you have write access. Then follow step 16
@@learnNX Thank you !
