Locking Expressions
(OP)
Can you lock expressions like you used to be able to do in the older versions of NX?
There used to be a padlock symbol that would prevent the user from accidentally modifying a formula.

MPTatECT,
The attached part has one "input" expression, p1, a locked expression "my_locked_exp" that uses the input expression p1 as part of the formula. And it has expression p2 which uses "my_locked_exp as part of its formula.
my_locked_exp is a ug_expression KF child rule with lockRule set to TRUE.
In the Tools ->Expression dialog and in the Part Navigator the "my_locked_exp" is not editable.
The example expression is quite simple but it should meet the requirement for being able to define the expression to be used for a curve by equation where that expression is not directly editable but still can react to other expression edits.

Hope this helps,
Joe

You still see the padlock in files containing interpart expressions.
