We are using NX with TeamCenter intergration and are trying to find a way to use the inches quantity in the TC bill to drive the length of the model in the assembly for things such as din rail and conduit.So far we are stumped so any ideas of where to start looking would be great.

RE: NX Part length controlled by TeamCenter quantity

Have you tried putting the Teamcenter 'value' in an Attribute which is passed to the NX part file? BTW, what version of NX are you running?

We are using the IEC NX 7.5 and an IEC version of TeamCenter. We are currently adding models for our older pars and are not sure how to set it up for floor stock parts that are stock 39" and cut too length at assembly.
