How to change many expressions at once. 1

NX peeps
i have a couple hundred tubes with a size of .5. i want to select all at once and change them to .75.
where do i do this? i cant figure out expressions?

I know this used to work, but you could export all the expressions to a spreadsheet. Edit the values and then import them back in, overwriting the existing expressions. If the only use of the 0.50 value was for the tubes, an easy 'find and replace' operation would do the trick, and even if there were some other uses of the 0.50 dimension, if that number was small, you could still do the 'find and replace' and then go back and fix the few non-relevant expressions.

thank you John, i will try.
when i look in the expressions list i see all the .5 measurments i want to change and i know there is a way to select just those with a filter. i just cant find it.

You can export to a text file instead of excel. Excel can sometimes be a little hassle.

( the default file extension is .exp but it is a plain .txt and can be edited with notepad.)
