NX12: If Else in attributes

[NutAce]

Hello All,

I have a bit of a particular problem. I want to show on a Drawing a text string which is created from a number of attributes. However, the attributes are Boolean's mapped from Teamcenter.

Standard GB=True
Standard ISO=True
Standard JIS=True

What I want the text string to show is "Standard; ISO,JIS,GB" when all three are true. And when only GB and ISO are true "Standard; ISO,GB"
So the string should show ONLY the attributes which are true. Any ideas on how to do this?
Basically you would build an If-Else statement but Not sure how to do this with attributes (if at all possible)

The Attributes are located on the UGPart (So no direct access to the expressions)

You're not going to be able to do If-Else logic directly in the Attributes system.

Easily doable a few different ways with expressions, if you can rearrange the location of the attributes at all.

Here's one way:

...where the formula for Standard_String is:

Again, there are several ways to skin this cat. This is just one that works well, using a "procedural block" within the expression.

But yeah... there's no direct solution in attributes.
