NX6 part attributes
NX6 part attributes
(OP)
Hi everyone
Running nx6 we use a smart part file for punches and buttons. they have a length, a diameter, a P dimension and a W dimension in the expressions. I have a part attribute called CODE is there anyway to have all those expression values show up in the value line of the attribute.
I want CODE = length diameter P dimension W dimension all of this as one attribute that updates as the expression changes. I know I can do this in NX 8 but I am stuck in NX 6 for the time being
thanks for any help you can give

RE: NX6 part attributes
thanks that is exactly what I am looking for. As for Multi's question this way is extremely good for an automotive pierce punch and die. because each piercing diameter is unique to the part it is creating you can't just use a locked part family member. I also have the employee problem where they would change the expression but not update the attribute causing the BOM to be incorrect this will eliminate that problem. I know eliminate the employee right LOL. Thanks for all the help
