Can't View Component Attribute from Assembly Navigator
Can't View Component Attribute from Assembly Navigator
(OP)
I'm trying to view component's density and/or volume in the assembly navigator. I have a column "MassPropDensity" that shows the value when of the component when it's the displayed part but when I make the assembly the displayed part, the column is empty.
I'm using NX8. In the past, I used to view the component properties / tab attributes, from the assembly, to see what can be displayed in a column. I can view two attributes (MASS_PROP_VOLUME and MassPropVolumn) when I set the "Object Selection" drop-down to "Apply to component as part attribute". Creating columns using these as attributes doesn't display anything.
I thought maybe I could create an expression, in the parts, that equals the attribute using something like "ug_askPartAttrValue" and then creating an attribute linked to that expression but I can't get that to work either.
