What version of NX are you using ?
Are you using TeamCenter ?

Hi
In below journal an attribute named "CALLOUT" value will be copied from parent part to child part. Parent part is the displayed part and child part is the work part.
let me know is this approach for work for you or not we can modify the journal as per your requirement.



using System;
using NXOpen;
using NXOpenUI;
using NXOpen.Assemblies;

namespace ParentAttributes
{
public class NXAttributes

{
public static void Main()
{
Session theSession = Session.GetSession();
UI theUI = UI.GetUI();
ListingWindow lw = theSession.ListingWindow;

try
{
Part wp = theSession.Parts.Work;
Part dp = theSession.Parts.Display;

Component pt = dp.ComponentAssembly.RootComponent; // Check the assembly is valid or not

if (pt != null)
{

BasePart parent = pt.OwningPart;

String at_val = parent.GetStringUserAttribute("CALLOUT", -1);

wp.SetUserAttribute("CALLOUT", -1, at_val, Update.Option.Now);



lw.Open();

lw.WriteFullline(pt.OwningPart.Leaf + " Attribute value: "+at_val+ " is copied to " + wp.Leaf);


}

else
{
theUI.NXMessageBox.Show("NXAttribute Tool", NXMessageBox.DialogType.Information, "This is not a valid Assembly");
}




}
catch (Exception ex)
{

theUI.NXMessageBox.Show("NXAttributes", NXMessageBox.DialogType.Error, ex.ToString());

}

}

public static int GetUnloadOption(string dummy) { return (int)Session.LibraryUnloadOption.Immediately; }

}
}

Hi Ram K,
Thank you for your suggestion, I will try your codes.
Actually, my requirement is in assembly when the child part as work part, asking the mother part whether it has a specific attribute or not.

Thank you,
Maryadi

Hi Maryadi,
Current code will copy the attribute value from mother part to child(work part). We can tweak this code to get your desired result, by adding "if" condition to check the attribute existence.

===========================
if (pt != null)
{
BasePart parent = pt.OwningPart;

if( parent.GetUserAttributeAsString(){} //To get Attribute names
}
