Prime or apostrophy added to expression in NX4
Prime or apostrophy added to expression in NX4
(OP)
In NX4, have you seen the situation where expressions automatically get created with an apostrophe and non descript number added? Example.. the file contains normal expressions p0 to p500. At some point, named expressions show up as p0'40, p1'40, p2'40, etc. up to p84'40.
The ' expressions have a value, but they do not have any references. You can select and delete. At some point during normal modeling, the p0' through p84' named expressions will show up again.
This is happening in random part files and ALWAYS stops at p84.. This is a single component model. No geometry has been imported / copied or wave linked into the part.
I have yet been able to predictably repeat the occurrence.
Thanks, Brad

If the numbers before the apostrophe are sequential, then this has occured 85 different times for p40.
You may be able to get rid of the unused expressions via Part Cleanup.

You can use: File (pull-down) > Utilities > Part Cleanup > toggle on proper things
to clean then up.
If you want to import a part into a file it is best to use Assemblies. I do it quite often to check fit-ups, clearance, and things like that.
