Extract Attributes from PRT Files

[drewboy23]

Maybe there is already a tool to do this, but I'd like to run a script of some sort that will give me a text file that lists the desired attributes of a directory of PRT files.

Basically we are given a directory of a few hundred parts, that have no description in the filename. I'd rather not open each on to see what they are.

Any ideas? THANKS!

Select start > run and type regsvr32 "%ugii_base_dir%"\ugii\ugpropext.dll

Open a new explorer window, select a file and then properties and the attribute tab should now be available.

If you have access to the GTAC forums, in the NX.Cad section there's "extract attributes from properties", June 30th, 2005
that has all this information.

This basically puts an Attributes tab in the properties of each file through Windows Explorer.

Does this apply to NX6?

Didn't work for me (NX6).

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. - [small]Hunter S. Thompson[/small]

If you do a search on GTAC, use "porperties", not "properties".

Worked for me with NX3 and NX5 installed.

That defintly saves some time, but I'l like to export all the info to a speardsheet.

I'm still on NX3, until GM finally decides to move to NX5 - if they do. I do not know of anything else to help you.

Sorry.

Attached is a simple UFUNC program to do this. You simply go to the directory and select any one part file. The output is to the listing window. The source code is included if you wish to improve the program.

For the record this program was NOT developed by me but by a friend from 'OZ'.
