Assign line font and width through an attribute

Assign line font and width through an attribute

(OP)
Hello everyone!

I have a question about object display in Modeling.

I'm using the Instance Geometry command to create associative copies of a sketch around an axis, the same way as a circular array with the command Instance Feature.

The problem is that the copies do not inherit the line font and width from the original sketch. I can edit the line font (dashed) and width (thin) for the created objects (associative copies), but if I increase the number of the copies, for example from 4 to 5, the fifth (last) copy has the default line font and width.

Is there a way to assign a line font and width to the objects of a feature (Instance Geometry, Projected Curve, etc.) through an attribute? I mean something like: LINE_FONT = DASHED

I'm working with NX6.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
 

RE: Assign line font and width through an attribute

I think it would take a little custom programming to accomplish this. It may be as simple as a grip program or journal connected to a 'user exit'.
