Hello NX community,

I assigned material to a component as "1.2379" (Tools>>Materials>>Assign Material). But while creating parts list, it is displaying as "1" under material column. While other material that assigned like Deivar, OHNS all are displaying properly. Please note that all these materials were added by me into material library. Please see attached image for further clarity.

I wonder if any one could help me to find what is the mistake i have done here.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure that the Parts List column for Material has been set to 'Text' and not 'Number'. If it's set to 'Number' it will ignore the settings and display the Material name as text as long as there is at least one alpha character. If it's all numeric then it will display it using the options set for 'Numbers' which might include 'zero' decimal places.

Hi John,

Yes it was set "Number".When I changed that to "Text" it worked!!!
Thank you very much.
