Hi

I've been using the parts list feature on NX5 which works well for creating a table and adding the name of the part it references (i.e. the filename of the part or sub-assembly)
I'd like to know if its possible for the part list to fill in automatically based upon additional information from the model.

For example:

The table automatically fills out the part name and uses :<W$=@$PART_NAME>

So, I thought that if I changed the code to <W$=@$PART_DESC> I might get the user defined part description to display in the parts list. This didn't work.
Maybe someone could explain if auto fill is a feature in NX and if so how it works.
