EXPRESSIONS IN NX 1

[Hemant65]

Dear All,

I want help to make user expressions for any model in NX 7.
So that i can change dimensions of constaints in user expressions under pan navigator.
Can anybody help me with this by steps?

Regards,
Hemant

OK, the only Expressions which directly show-up in the Part Navigator are 'User Defined' Expressions. So if you create a feature, say a Block and you want to control it's size by directly selecting and editing an Expression in the Part Navigator you'll need to create a User Defined Expression and set one of the system created Expressions (which were create when the block was created) equal to your User Defined Expression. Now you will be able to directly edit that aspect of the Block by selecting your User Defined Expression from the Part Navigator.

Hi Hemant

user expressions are not created in th navigator. Go to tools expression, then create your expression and it will appear in the navigator

You can't - but if you give more details on what you want to accomplish, then maybe more options can be passed onto you.

It's automatic. Once you create a 'user defined' expression in the Expression dialog, at...

Tools -> Expression...

...when you open the Part Navigator you will see a section labeled 'User Expressions'. Expand that section of the list and you will see a list of your 'User Defined' Expressions. Double clicking on any one of them will allow you to edit their value.

At the bottom of the part navigator, expand the "Details" section. Then select a feature, such as an extrude, and you will see all the feature expressions in the details area.

Otherwise, you have to use the expressions editor (ctl+E).
