In NX7.5 we could select all part attributes and simply copy & paste, how do I do it in NX8? It lets me select them all in File-> Properties but won't let me copy them.

Rick,
I think you can export it to a spreadsheet (just expand all the attribute nodes beforehand).Then you can save it as a text file too.

Yes, starting with NX 8.0, the Attributes dialog now uses a 'navigator' style panel, and like all other places in NX where you see a 'navigator' you have the option to 'export' its contents to either a browser or a spreadsheet. In either case you could then copy the contents to a text file, however your best bet would be to go the spreadsheet route since that is where it will be the easiest to remove any unwanted columns or if you need to do an reordering or other changes before you actually create the final text file.
