NX8 electrode design. Problem with block_blank.xls
NX8 electrode design. Problem with block_blank.xls
(OP)
In NX6 I used expressions like “1~200+1” or numbers separated by commas to set electrode foot dimensions and it worked great. I've tried to use it in NX8 and it looks like this doesn't work the way it should.
It seems the problem occurs only with block_blank.xls. Moldwizard standard part library works great

RE: NX8 electrode design. Problem with block_blank.xls
You say that you can't set an expression equal to 1~200+1. I don't wonder since I'm not aware of any support for the 'tilde' (~) character. And this goes for NX 6.0 as well.
Could you provide a sample of an NX 6.0 part file which expressions formatted as you've described above?

Tilde character is used in excel spreadsheet to define number ranges.
e.g. 1~10+1 is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 , 1~10+2 is 1,3,5,7,9
It gives possibility to smoothly change to desired dimension using slider (attached image).
I’ve attached metric block_blank.prt and block_blank.xls as a sample.
You can also check moldwizad standard part library (e.g. …\MOLDWIZARD\standard\metric\dme\data\angle_pin.xls , PLATE_HEIGHT, SLIDE_HEIGHT).
Everything works great in NX6 but it doesn't work in NX8.

Any idea what the problem might be?
