DUPLICATE EXPRESSIONS

[jkcone]

Hello
My problem is when I copy a title block from one drawing sheet to another in the same file it creates duplicate expressions. You see most of the fields in the title block are reading the file's expressions. All that seems to be working okay for the first title block. But now I need the same title block in the other drawing sheets. When I copy & paste the title block to another sheet it creates duplicate expressions except the new ones have a "'13" at the end of their names. I've also tried exporting the title block to a .prt file & then importing it back in but got the same result. Does anyone know how to prevent this?

I'm running NX6

This behauvior is the same when you import a part into another part. Try running the attached grip file (provided by J.R.B, thanks). It does "clean up" the expressions.

Thanks MickyV007 for the grip.
I ran it but the message said:
"0 Expressions Renamed"
"33 Duplicates Unchanged"
Bummer

Anybody got any other suggestions?

James,
you can adapt the *.grs file (included in the zip file), you open it with notepad, there you will see somewhere in the code
$$ Check for (') character (this is info)
PL(2)=FNDSTR(EXPNO,CHAR,1)
IF/PL(2),,S2:,
Adapt this for your problem "13" or whatever is added to the expressions. Recompile (google is your friend) the *.grs file and run it again.


Best regards,

Michaël.
