Than you for replying. Basically, i am using attribute function to assign a title and string value of each face in a solid body. This process can take hours and i was wondering if this can be done by using a grip file so i can save some time.
Thanks,

For example for a hole, the title will be " hole" and the vaule will be a number.
Thanks

Regarding applying attributes to the faces I would suggest that surely the only reason for doing this is to use the attributes to be used for some downstream action. If that action can be done directly then the need for using attributes becomes redundant.

It is important to let me know your NX version. Also if you need it for both inch and mm parts. After I have the info I suggest that we start by using a color for a range of hole sizes. For example
0.0 > 1.0 mm color 1
1.0 > 2.0 mm color 2 etc
similarly for inch
If you have a diferent requirement or if you want to use specific colors please let me know.

I am using UG NX7.5, inch parts and I agree that we start with your suggestion or we can start by assigning colors and numbers to all the faces within the part.
Thank you for your help.

Anyway this is a start. Let me know what you think.
