    How to import attributes pre-defined in Solidworks?

    handleman, yes, you are right. It looks confused why SW uses two different extensions for part and assembly. NX uses ".prt" for both part and assembly. Actually There's no difference between them. When creating a part file, it uses part template for it, when creating assembly file, similarly it...

    Hole callout in mirror part

    Sometime we need to create mirror part like lefthand and righthand parts, but "hole callout" fails in mirror feature, especially for thread. Of course the two parts need to keep association. My operation is to create a new part B, then insert part A, mirror the body.

    How to import attributes pre-defined in Solidworks?

    SBaugh that's exactly what I want. But I find another problem. To autofill part number in drawing file, I create "Autofill No." in custom property, the value is "Part.Extension.CustomPropertyManager("").Set("SW-Part Number",Rtrim(Left(Part.GetTitle,InStr(Part.GetTitle,"R")-2)))" My file is...

    How to import attributes pre-defined in Solidworks?

    When I download a model file from internet,It needs to define several attributes like "Specification""Materail""Part Number"。In UG NX, we can import these from a pre-defined file. It's painful to type in these one by one every time.

    How to get the part name of a part file in the Assembly Navigator?

    Here I want to get the Part Name(I think it's same as DB_PART_NO) of some part in the assembly navigator, use it as a string in expression. How can I do this?

    Is it possible to define a enumeration type expression?

    Yes, gelsonnicoletto you got what I mean. But I'm too stupid to understand how to do in detail. D1 and D1_options don't have any association?

    Is it possible to define a enumeration type expression?

    So as the value of expression "A" can only be 1, 2, 3, when a part has several specs. I watched the video "Attributes and Expression Templates" by John. It uses a List Type attribute in Attribute Templates. But is it possible to do this more directly just in expressions dialogue box? Beginner to...

    How to converting numerical value to srting?

    Great. It works well. I wonder is there any book helping to learn Parametric Design or secondary development etc. After doing something as standardiztion, so I can make the design process more efficiency and automatic.

    How to converting numerical value to srting?

    In the help documentation, there is a case "Converting an Interger to String, sVAR=itos (12)", but when I use the same statement in expression, it says "Couldn't find object for itos.""No fuction itos." I want to converting a numerical value to srting, then make the string as part of a...

    About the nth statement logic

    Here I have a part family part. First in the Attribute Templates I define an attribute title called "Type", "Integer" for Data Type, List "59, 60, 61". Then create expressions as follows Type=linked to attribute "Type" Length={40,60,80} L=nth(Type,Length) Then I found when Type<2, L=40...

    How dose it work with part preview in NX?

    I tried. Even though I switch to the Drafting application to make the NX graphics window showing Sheet drawing, then save, it still only shows a model preview in the windows explorer. I have no idea.

    How dose it work with part preview in NX?

    In the Windows Explorer .prt file can be displayed as a thumbnail. A model file has a unique preview, but a drawing file have both model preview and sheet preview. In my case, some of the drawing files display with a model preview and others display with a sheet preview. For example...

    NX TITLE BLOCK - MATERIAL

    I'm also confused about the material. I also used the string <WRef1*0@Material> in both title block and parts list. As I used the command "Assign Material" to a part, it did work in the Parts List, but not work in the title block. I tried to use Attribute Tool > Synchronize Attribute to make the...
