Looking to be able to save the state of a feature dialog

[mmiscool]

I specifically want to save what i have entered in to all the fields in a feature dialog.

I have several expressions that i want to use in the sheet metal closed corner command and want to make a button that brings up that command with certain fields already filled in with my expressions.

Is there an easy way to make this happen.

Thank you.

You may want to check in your customer defaults.
Usually there are fields, like what you have, that can be set in there.

I have looked in the customer defaults. I was unable to find anything for default values in fields for the dialog.

I have attempted a macro to recorded me setting the dialog to the correct values. but nothing seems to work with me putting expressions in to the fields.

A macro should work ok, I wonder why it doesn't
I am on NX7.5, and the attached image shows some settings in the customer defaults that may help you.

With the screen shot you provided I was able to get to the customer defaults for the command that I wanted however I cannot place any expressions in any of those fields.

Whenever I input an expression in to any of those fields it give me the error "The input could not be evaluated"

Expressions can't be used as defaults since they technically only exist in the context of an actual part file. Your best bet is to create a journal/macro which would set all dialog entries once a session is up and running.
