NX 8 - expressions - linking them TO a spreadsheet

[nathan1974]

I am using ug_cell_read and the other associated functions to get data into my parts from a spreadsheet but would really like to go the other way and put data into a spreadsheet.

For example,

I have a simple spreadsheet with length, width and height that controls the dimensions of a block and from that I measure the diagonals. Is there an expression or routine I can use to link/put those measured values into a spreadsheet to a specific cell?

I know I can export the expressions to a file but it needs to be a little more sophisticated than that!

I'm not aware of an expression fuction like that, but I guess one could use Knowledge Fusion to create your own customized function to do just that.

Other than customization, is there any other functionality that would output values semi-automatically. What sort of costs could I expect to get something like this created in Knowledge Fusion and would it be something I need to go through Siemens for?

Knowledge Fusion is a licensed add-on module which anyone can purchase and use to develop integrated functions inside of an NX model or part file. While I don't have a list of people who could develop such a program, they would not necessarily require any specific help from Siemens PLM to do so.
