NX 9.0 spreadsheet
NX 9.0 spreadsheet
(OP)
Hey everyone,
I would like to ask for some help or input on the following issue:
I have a series of solid bodies in my modelling file and I have used "measure bodies" feature on each body to determine the individual volumes.
I can see there is a button "spreadsheet" that explains it can export model data to a spreadsheet.
Is it possible to export the volume of each solid body to a single spreadsheet? I need to see the volumes as a changing graph in real time as I modify my bodies.
Thanks in advance :)

Though I am not sure how did you link those values to the spreadsheet?
I have tried:
- right click "body measurement" feature from the model history tree
- properties
- link to expression
- type a name
- select the type as "number"
- choose volume from the list of measurements
If I am going about it correctly, what do I type in the formula box? I can see you have defined all three expressions because they show up in the list of "link to expression" window though I can't easily understand how they are created.
Thanks for the help.

I then went to...
Tools - > Spreadsheet
...and in the menu titled 'Add-Ins' I selected the 'Extract Expr' item which then pulls all the expressions from the NX part file into the Spreadsheet. I then deleted the expressions that I was not interested in, added some details and that was it. When I closed the spreadsheet and I was asked if I want to save the changes I hit OK.
