Add comments about features
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
I am thinking of adding comments about features in Model History but its not possible in NX7.5 or I don`t know.
Is there any solution for adding instructions with features.
Many thanks in advance!

RE: Add comments about features
Assign attribute groups and managed attribute groups to an object.
To do this, right-click the object/feature and choose properties,and assign the attribute group or managed attribute group.
Thanks,

RE: Add comments about features
To add a comment to a feature: right click on the feature of interest, choose "properties", on the "feature attributes" tab create a string attribute with the title "comment" and OK the dialog. The text entered for the comment attribute will now show up in the part navigator.

The "comment" will show after the feature number in the model tree

For me the reply from Mr.Cowski is the solution for now and really appreciate all the answers.
Once again thank you very much.

Sometimes we actually get that 'consistency' thing right

By "left click once", it means left click and hold the button down until the edit box appears.

To increase the consistency, the comments in the Expression dialog should work the same way.

That said, expressions can have attributes the same as features; just there is no mechanism to edit them in the GUI.

If that was the case, while I don't know for sure yet, but there's a project in the next version of NX which will be making some significant changes in the presentation of the expression dialog including a lot more direct access to the 'cells', much like when working in a spreadsheet, at least that's how I've read it to be, but I've not yet gotten my hand on any alpha code yet, however when I do, this is one of the first things I want to start playing with.

My apologies to Mr. Baker, he is correct. While the API documentation lists methods to assign and retrieve attributes for expressions (and the code will compile without error), you will get a runtime error if you attempt to actually use the methods. Something to the effect that it is "not currently supported".
In the future, I'll be sure to test my claims more thoroughly instead of believing the documentation.
