Grip to assign part attr to assy files... 2

[Shadowspawn]

Howdies,

I need to open a native assy and assign 2 TC attributes (db_part_no & db_part_rev) by parsing the existing native part name/rev (providing for interactively changing the db attr if I don't like what's suggested). This is in preparation of totally crap legacy files for TC.

Essentially, I'd like to:
fully open the assy (in or out of NX)
parse existing part name and part rev into what will be the TC part_no & part_rev
accept the suggestion <or> change as desired
cycle to next part & repeat ...thru the entire assy structure.

Would anyone have something similiar they would be willing to share? ...or get me started?

TIA

SS

Cowski..

My guys haven't said anything negative about it, and I've tested it myself and am very pleased! Thanks much for your time/efforts on this.

I'm still tweaking a grip routine to do much the same (based on John's grip, and more for my own knowledge than need...). But... since your journal is working so well we will likely just use that, since I'm also busy trying to put out fires....

thanks again!

SS
