Sep 17, 2010 #2 JohnRBaker Mechanical Jun 1, 2006 35,797 Are you talking about some sort of 'read-only' Expression? That is an Expression which can't be edited by a user. John R. Baker, P.E.

Sep 17, 2010 Thread starter #3 daluigi Industrial Apr 17, 2010 216 Correct. I'm starting a library of standard steel components whose length attribute value are linked to an extrusion expression value and I'd like only the End Limit extrusion value to be available for edit by the user (see picture attached) http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=377cb0ed-c948-48f2-95a4-511c799dd6a7&file=NX6_Locked_for_edit.jpg Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 17, 2010 #5 jerry1423 Mechanical Aug 19, 2005 3,428 I suggest using "suppresion by expression" for the feature that you want either on or off. Upvote 0 Downvote
