NX6 parts list component name
NX6 parts list component name
(OP)
I have a parts list in NX6, I have added a column for 'name of part'. I want the component name (ie the name assigned in the assembly navigator) to show in this column. I added the 'member name' relationship in the text editor ("$="); this works well, but the text is enclosed in brackets. How can I get rid of the brackets? I don't see any obvious options in the style dialogs.

On a different note, I'm using the auto numbering option but I'd like to change the number assigned to one of the components (technically 2 of the components since they can't have the same number, but I don't care what number the other component gets assigned). Can I manually control certain parts and let auto numbering do the rest?
RE: NX6 parts list component name
Now go to your drawing and select just the Callout 'cell' of the Parts List of the Component of interest, press MB3, select 'Edit Text...' and when the Text Editor dialog comes up, on the Relationships tab select the 'Object Attributes' item (top row, middle icon), when the Target Object selection dialog comes up, select the what looks like another Object Attribute icon (this will show you only the attributes associated with the selected callout), select the Attribute 'NEW_CALLOUT', hit OK, hit OK again and the Parts List will update. The old callout letter will be reused, moving up by one letter, all remaining callouts (if you don't want that to happen, you'll have to lock them first).
Now if later you wish to 'undo' this, just reselect just the callout cell, press MB3 and select the 'Automatic Text' item. This will set that cell back what the system originally had assigned it.
Anyway, I hope this gives you what you're looking for.

RE: NX6 parts list component name
Let's say I have a 4 item assembly and the autoballoon 'item 3' I want to be 'item 1'; when I use the 'new_callout' attribute I end up with items 1, 1, 2, and 4. Is it a choice between managing them manually or hunting for the auto callout?
