Expression Filters

Expression Filters

(OP)
Using "Filter By Name" (as an example), is it possible to filter for multiple names ?

For example, I want to include in the filter all of my named expressions including the string DIA or LENGTH.

Good news, this is possible. In the customer defaults, use the option: Gateway -> general -> miscellaneous -> text filter -> regular expressions. Ok the dialog and restart NX for the change to take effect.

Now in the "filter by name" entry, you can enter .*DIA.*|.*LENGTH.* to find all the expressions that contain "DIA" or "LENGTH" in the name.

A good web reference for regular expressions is:

Thanks, Cowski.

In all my years of using NX, I never realized that was there. smile

Neither have I and I've been using UG/NX for a lot long than Taylor has (38 years this coming August). Of course, we've only had expressions since UG V8.0, but that's still 24 years this month.
