Duplicated expressions

Hi, I'm working with NX8.0 and I have a problem with the expressions, the program is duplicating some of them randomly. The expressions are duplicated exactly the same name, value, type, etc. Does anyone have an idea about this problem?

First that I've heard of this happening. What is the exact version of NX 8.0 that you're running? Does this happen with more than one drawing? Are you running any NX Open applications? Are you merging Part files (using File -> Import -> Part...) together?

The exact version is NX 8.0.2.2. This has happened with one .prt so far. Yes I'm running an NX Open application with C#. And I'm not merging Part files.

Could it be a problem with the NX Open?

I attached an image with the problem

Thank you

If the NX Open program is creating the Expressions I guess it could be the cause of this. However, if the program is just creating geometry I can see how it would result in something like this.

Have you tried to delete one of the pair of Expressions? If you were able to, does the duplicate get recreated later?

If this only happens with one file and if your file still behaves as you expected it to, I would just ignore it for now. However, if it happens again, you may wish to take this up with GTAC.
