Hi,
I am currently using NX1934 and i am looking for a way to make PMI dimension associative to a part attribute wherein the dimension value is updated if the value in a part attribute is updated or vice versa. Can anyone help me if this is possible.

Thanks in advance!

I rarely use PMI, so I might be wrong here, but I don't think PMI dimensions will allow you to use "manual" text for the value (the dim text must always match the measured value).

However, you should be able to create an expression that reads the attribute value and drives one or more parameters of the part. In this way you could use an attribute to drive the part parameters and the resulting PMI dimension value.

Thankyou very much for the answer. I will try with expressions and see if it works!!
