Hi,
I am just starting to work with NX Open using Python library. I am trying to automate the task of filling each entry of Title Block in drafting.
I want to include these things in the program when it runs:
TITLE: // Should automatically set as the file name//
DATE: // Should automatically set as the current date//
WEIGHT: // Should take the weight of the part based on the assigned material//
I would be really grateful if I can get some help with this. I am not looking for a full code on this, just some guidance on how to proceed with this and which Python Libraries can make it work.
Thanks
re: populate title block
The recommended way to setup a titleblock is to link the notes to attributes of the master model and/or drawing. PhoeNX PLM put out some very good videos about setting up drawing templates for NX, they can be found here:

If/when your drawing titleblock is set up this way, the only real thing left to do is creating/editing attributes. The journal recorder can provide some useful code for this.
