Parts list question
Parts list question
(OP)
From the previous thread
Link
to give an appropriate title to the thread I will continue here.
After watching the video of PhoenNX PLM, I became aware that we have much to learn.
All my "Seed Parts" have an attribute called "Code" and I set in all seed parts
Code = <W$=@$PART_NAME>
In parts list I have a column for the attribute "Code" but when I update parts list the column Code remain empty.
I done this because generally the code and the part name are the same.
Sometimes however, the Code is only part of the part name and some other the Code is completely different from the part name.
Accept suggestion

RE: Parts list question
Highlight the column and rmc to Style, in one of the tabs you are able to change it to either text, money, decimal inches, and things like that; make sure you have it set to what best works for you.
I am not at work now, so I can't direct you well.

I also tested each of them with the option "Evaluate cell as formula".
In any situation, the column remains empty.
With the option "Evaluate cell formula as" the column presents on each row the Dash

Can I automatically get this information in expression? Then NX9 can fill attributes from expression. (No sure about NX7.5)
Thank you

I put a video in my post that shows how it can be done.
