Updating a table full of expressions
Updating a table full of expressions
(OP)
Hello,
I have a table with 84 parts in it that has several expression related items that I want to update. When I do go to update it, it does not update the parts unless the items are loaded.
Is there a way for me to update my table faster (load the expressions) other than opening every part and uploading the table that way?
Thanks,
J

I have, that did not appear to work. It actually didn't do anything that I can tell. The 84 parts I have are part of a part family and the drawing is the seed part, if you will, that the part family is originated from. The only way I have been able to get these expressions to update is if I have them open, which takes forever. I don't expect to update the drawing often but I am creating several drawings similar to this and would like avoid opening all of these parts.

I could do this, but this would no longer link the data. I am looking to have the data linked to the master model and if there needs to be a change, it updates practically automatically after the the desired change occurs.
What I usually have found is if you can think it, it is usually possible in NX. Hopefully this is the case as well.

RE: Updating a table full of expressions
I was afraid of that. I have never written any programs for NX. The closest thing to writting code that I have done is created a few macro's for Excel. I think for the time I will continue to copy and paste data (as we do have a checker on all drawings anyway) and look into the programming down the road, if I see the need for it increase.
