Assigning Attrubuites using grip
Assigning Attrubuites using grip
(OP)
Good Monday Morning,
I am new to the Grip world but been a UG user for 15 years.
I am working for a company in PA who has seen the light and has decided to listen to me and in doing so drop the ball in my lap to make it happen. It is put up or shut up.
I made a pax files with all of defaults set up on formats with Attributes set up to generic values but some of the Ol' Guard are still Bulking at the idea of entering the info by hane they want to use a grip programm to hold their hand and walk them thru i But heres the catch i am Grip illetate our one programmer on site has been reassigned and can not give me more help then what is in the Help on-line documents.
so here it is :
I need to find an att. display its name and psudo value and wait for user input once entered the grip would reset to the entered value.
Titles are: Values are: Types are
Title_1 Nut, Flanged String
Title_2 Hex String
Drawn_by SRK String
Checker FDG String
just a small sample there are actually 37 possible variables to be entered base on a couple user inputs but i will worry about those next time right now I need to get the string vales filled in.
Any help would be great.

RE: Assigning Attrubuites using grip
I'm not sure I'm following you... not sure what your looking for. Can you explain further? Are you wanting to read existing attributes in the file and display them? Assign attributes to a file based on user input? Add attributes to a file based on component structure? Read and display existing attributes AND allow a user to change one/more those attribute?

RE: Assigning Attrubuites using grip
I want the grip to be an interface between the users and the Attributes I know it is easier for them to just edit the Att under properies but the Lod timers here have greater pull with manament then I do so they win.
So if I want drawing templets and Attributes as well as add a sheet pax files to work here I have to get an interface IE Grip to handle it so it looks and feels the way their old interface worked.
so in my templet I have filled in the format with junk info that the user needs to correct with in the Attributes the end- user want it to work like the old grip tool that placed text thru a screen position . I need it now to to just change the Atts. to a new value based on the user input. I was going to just write a macro and ask for user inputs but though assigning new values to exsisting Atts. would be a smater way of doing it.

John's program should give you menus that will display the current value and allow your engineers to overwrite the value with new data.
