What version of NX?
Assuming NX 9 (will be similar in other versions), open the expressions dialog, switch the listed expressions to "attribute expressions", look for the expression that references your desired attribute (let's assume it is p1). Now make a new string expression with the formula subString(p1, 12,1000). The 12 tells the function to start with the 12th character in the given string, the 1000 can be any number equal to or larger than the number of characters in the given string.

Cowski, Glad to see that you can use more characters in the substring command than are in the actual string. PTC Creo does not and errors on that command if the initial string lnegth is longer than the last character it is looking for.

A solution is to use the length() function in combination with the substring function.

name = substring(p1,12,length(p1)) will always return the 12th through the end of the p1 string.
If p1 is 11111111111abcdefghi, then name will be abcdefghi

Nice - I wanted to use the length() function, but the wording of the function parameters made it sound like it would only work with a list.
