Hi, everyone!
About seven years ago, there was a thread about patterning features such that numerical values in included text features could also increment with each pattern instance.

Back then I'd proposed a solution that required a Child List in Knowledge Fusion. That...
Folks --
Someone just tipped me off to the Measure discussion over here... Thought I'd drop in and steer you toward some more resources.
I've recorded a series of fourteen videos about the new tool, and they're all available over at the NX Design Knowledge Base here...
Are you just looking for something simple like this?
if ( abs(exp1 - exp2) < 0.0001 ) then (1) else (911)
[If the absolute value of the difference between exp1 and exp2 is less than the tolerance, then 1, else 911.]
Does that get you there?

That first argument in the nth() function needs to be an integer that is the index of the list... the "nth" item in the list. (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, Nth, etc.)
So here, if your "Type" attribute will be 59, 60, or 61, then you'll need to offset these values to get down to a valid index for the...
Limit is 1024, as I recall.

You're not going to be able to do If-Else logic directly in the Attributes system.
Easily doable a few different ways with expressions, if you can rearrange the location of the attributes at all.
Here's one way:
...where the formula for Standard_String is:
Again, there are...
Yes. :-)
This is exactly what the Optimization command is for. Works like a charm.
Create an associative Distance Measurement feature between the two bodies to start.
Choose the expression from that Distance Measurement as the "Objective" in the optimization and give it the desired...

John Baker tipped me off to your post. (Thanks, John!) I'm happy to respond.
(Though frankly, I spend a lot more time over on the Siemens NX Design Forum these days...)
>>Has anyone else seen the changes?
Oh, yes. :-)
In fact, I think we've done more usability testing...

As the Product Manager who has spent the last couple of year working with the development team to update and consolidate our measurement commands (and as a 20+ year user of Unigraphics and NX who cares a lot about usability), I'm happy to help where I can.

Just saw this one... I've been spending a lager fraction of my time on the Siemens NX Design Forum lately. :-)
Here's a brute-force answer (like multicaduser described) that gets you the closest value, with expression1 as the input and expression2 as the list. For your example...

Highlighting is not currently an option here.
Comments have been mentioned as one option. Sorting by comments could quickly bring key inputs to the top.
Collecting key inputs into a labeled expression group might be another option to explore.
But in the end, if you're trying "to...
One more comment on this...
With NX 11, we actually put out a new "Getting Started Guide" for NX Open, based loosely on the popular "Getting Started Guide" for SNAP. This new resource can be found here:

Sorry... Struggling to understand the question. Might you be able to post a picture of the "expression tool bar" you're expecting?

Might you be able to post an example of this problem? I'm pretty sure I don't understand the question yet.

Regarding the one expression / two expression question, here's the philosophy behind what we're doing here (and with interpart expressions, too.)
Attribute expressions and interpart expressions are now blue system expressions (like measurement expressions) and their formulas are locked...
