Creating custom attributes in Operation Part Navigator

Creating custom attributes in Operation Part Navigator

Creating custom attributes in Operation Part Navigator

(OP)
Greetints!


I would like to know, is it possible to create/add custom attributes in Operation Navigator? For example, I would like to see the cutting parameters - part stock, cut depth, stepover and so on.

I would use it for creating shop documents, because I could easily convert it to spreadsheets.


Thanks in advance! :)

RE: Creating custom attributes in Operation Part Navigator

Hello,

Go to Configure and
Add the required attribute name and say create.

Thanks,

You can not define your own columns for the Operation Navigator.
I am not sure how old your version of NX is, but I just looked at NX 10 and as you can see in the attached picture there are many more columns that what you see.

The parameters you are looking for are available during postprocessing and shop docs.
For stepover, you will need to write some code if you want to interrogate all the possibilities, such as max, exact, %Tool, number of passes, scallop height, variable, maultiple, ...
