I need to add a column in the part list of the assembly , that have only a portion of text
of the part name , like this 5555_01.01.03_mounting_plate --> 01.01.03
or if is not possible 5555_01.01.03
because i need this string for the callout (my customer need this string in the callout)
thanks in advance

Have you tried creating an attribute in your parts with the required data, and then have a column in the parts list reference that attribute?

I haven't found a solution.
And now, i have the same problem with an other costumer,
In this case i need the first 8 character
of name file, to use with the callout.
 
What version of NX?

I'd go with Agriego's suggestion; a journal can process the assembly and create the component attributes, then use the attribute as the callout.
