attributes not updating right away with nx5
attributes not updating right away with nx5
(OP)
I have nx5. It seems like most of the time the attributes do not update right away. I usually have to close the file and reopen or add the attribute again. I was wondering if there was a setting in UG to prevent this or if this is how ug works or if they fixed it at a later version.

...and this will force a complete update of any pending chnages.

The reason that saving your file and reopening it again caused the update to take place is because we always check stuff like this as we're saving the file to make sure that nothing is left 'pending'. The problem is that the updated data went to disk but the current session was left unaware of what had happened, but of course when you open the file the next time the fully updated data is now loaded.
To make a long story short, starting in NX 8.0 we treat a change in the value of an Attribute exactly the same as a change in the value of an Expression.
