ReUse 1

[PDW]

Below are two .krx files from either a Hexagon bolt and a Spring Pin.
I found a different Valuematch for these two examples:
ValueMatch="LE" for the HEX Bolt
ValueMatch="GE" for the Sping Pin
Can anybody help me out why this differnce and how it corresponds with the ReUse function?

LE stands for Less than or Equal to
GE stands for Greater than or Equal to

This basaically defines the size of the fasterer so to fit a bolt in to a hole it will look for the closest size based on the hole so if the hole is 8.5mm dia then it will look for the closest size bolt based on less than or equal to the hole size and in this case with will be an M8 bolt and the less than value ensures you have clearance.

WIth the spring pin, it is an interfereance fit, so it will reverse the sizr requirements so if you have a 4mm dia hole, then it will look for the next sized pin upwards based on Greater than or Equal to so the next pin you may have for this hole size might be 4.25mm dia

I think I'm more or less right with this.

Dear Simon,

I was awear that if the Matchdata was connected to an expression it looked for a matching diameter, the LE and GE is what i didn't understood.
So your explanation makes it all clear.
Thanks for this and I award you with a star!

Another questions on setting up ReUse:

I have created a excel list stainless steel bars with specific sizes corresponding to different finnishes for stainles steel bars or tubes
How do i connect the chosen finnish (here drawn or grinded) to an Part Attribute in my NX part?
The excel list looks like this as an example:

W H TYPE
-------------------
100 5 GRINDED
100 5 DRAWN
120 6 GRINDED
150 8 DRAWN


The .krx file I created like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<KnowledgeReuse>
<ItemData>
<Part Location="FLAT BAR.prt"/>
<DetailImage Location="FLAT BAR.bmp"/>
<KeyParameter DescriptiveName="(W) WIDTH">W</KeyParameter>
<KeyParameter DescriptiveName="(H) HEIGHT">H</KeyParameter>
<KeyParameter DescriptiveName="TYPE">TYPE</KeyParameter>
<DataFile Location="FLAT BAR.xls"/>

</ItemData>
