Is there a characteristic of a Part FIle that can only be set through journaling?
Is there a characteristic of a Part FIle that can only be set through journaling?
(OP)
I am wondering if there could be a invisible attribute, expression , or property that can only be set or unset using a journal? Maybe similar to the material attribute in NX8?
I have a journal that is creating parts for one department. I then have another journal in another department referencing these files. I need the next journal to know that the part file in the original department was created from a journal. I would like it hidden to make sure someone doesn't change this value for any reason.
Is there a way to go about doing this?
Using NX8.

If not, then I doubt many users will even be aware of it and you might be able to use it for your purpose. It isn't exactly 'hidden', but it would be difficult to change 'by accident'.

If you search the NX Open documentation using the string 'customer area' you'll find the various GRIP/UFUNC commands which can read/write data stored in this 'customer area'. Note that it's limited to a single 132 character string.
