Solid Edge properties manager - NX ??????

Solid Edge properties manager - NX ??????

Solid Edge properties manager - NX ??????

(OP)
Our company is switching from Solid Edge to NX shortly. Currently there is an option in Solid Edge, called Properties Manager, which will bring up the properties (attributes) for that part or draft. It then brings up any linked files to it as well. So if you open the properties manager for the draft of an assembly it will open up a matrix with a row for the draft, a row for the assembly, and rows for every part in the assembly's BOM. The columns are interchangeable allowing from anything from the date of creation, author, and description, to all of the properties (attributes) you would use in your draft. This matrix can be copied into excel where pre-written functions manipulate the information. In short there is no typing when editing your properties (attributes), excel does it all for you.

We have found that we can export the attributes from the Select Part Properties, but can't edit them at all. Is there any easy way to edit a part's attributes in NX without having to enter them in line by line?

(attached is the file we use to manipulate the properties, don't know if it will help explain or just be more confusing)

RE: Solid Edge properties manager - NX ??????

Shaky as my memory of working with such things may be are you trying to simply duplicate a spreadsheet behaviour in NX or is the question about bringing the actual values over from Sledge into NX?

If it is the former then I'd say learn to work with NX's own parts list functions.

If it is the latter then perhaps it will help to know that you can copy and paste attributes from one file to the other in NX.

It may also be the case if Solid attributes from solid edge are locked when the files are opened in NX using an interoperability mode then breaking some of the links may unlock them. I'm not sure if that has to do with what you meant?  

Best Regards
