That's what I thought as well but before I did that I went through to try each "text" file type I could and opened them in notepad to see the output. I found that saving as a Formatted Text (Space Delimited) .prn file type allowed me to keep the quote formatting the way I wanted. Now it imports...
I appologize for not being more thorough. I have created a macro in VBA to create a large number of .exp files by bringing data in from a master data sheet containing all the dimensions, filenames, and materials for each part. I store these exp files in a folder that the journal in UG pulls from...
John,
I decided to try your manual method to import a string to start my troubleshooting. This is lies with the file format that I am using in excel. When I save my .exp I am using a Tab Delimited Text file format. However, this format does not like quotations. It adds additional quotations in...
There must just be something wrong with my syntax somewhere between the macro writing the .exp and the journal importing. This confirms that I can atleast import as strings using .exp's.

Thank you for all your help!
Frank,
Thank you for the sample program. I tried to execute it but it came back with an error, most likely due to something I am doing despite your efforts. I appologize for that. I have attached a picture of what I am getting back from NX when I execute the program as an NX open.
Thanks for...
I would like for the dimensions of the model to change and save a .pdf for each iteration from the spreadsheet.
I am using version 5 but have version 7.5 capability if there is a newer function to make this possible.
