NXAttributeCatalog.xml

NXAttributeCatalog.xml

(OP)
Hi,
I'm setting the NXAttributeCatalog.xml.
I've added the DB_UNITS attribute with a lot of list value.
It's possible to write on the left of the value the name of the unit ?
For example :
Attribute : DB_UNITS
Value : m (metri)
kg (chilogrammi)
l (litri)
J (Joule)
This request to help the user in the choice.

Thank you...

Why not simply make the value of DB_UNITS the name of the units?

Because we export the part list to our MRP that read the part list and generate the BOM.
Our MRP use m for meters, kg for kilogram, etc..

Thank you...

Well, if the attributes are 'String' attributes, you can set the value to any string of characters including something like "m (meter)". The question then is whether your MRP system can parse the text string looking for the "m".
