Edit expression on component add

[George Packham]

Hi all,

When using some of my resue parts I often find that although the part I'm adding is common the sizes that needs to be can change a lot and can often be rather irrational numbers. I was wondering whether it is possible to allow the user to edit a number of pre-chosen expressions when they add the part in the first instance.

I know you can edit the master copy spreadsheet to update the value, bbutthis can take some time out and I am interested in increase efficnency. This part will also be passed on to collegues so there may be many peopele edit the spreadsheet which I don't really want to happen.

Kind regards,
George Packham

I would have a look at Product Template Studio in NX.
This allows you to build an interface with the expressions Attributes which are allowed to be changed.
This interface will be stored on the part itself and activates as soon as a user opens, adds or changes it.
