    Autoupdate part attributes and expression linked to external excel files

    Ok, I see.... So the fact is that the KF function "ug_askPartAttrValue()" is triggered everytime I enter the expression editor and get the correct data... But there is no way to trigger it automatically, right? So, am I lost?

    NX - have the file name as a part attribute or string expression

    We manufacture tools and molds, we use Moldwizard and we are installing a new ERP. What I would like to achieve is to have an unique part code associated to each component we produce internally from scratch.

    So, what do you suggest we can do to keep the colors of the tool bodies on the target bodies, using the pocket function in MW?

    NX 6 Wave Linker - get view properties from original part

    Well, it is not properly true: when I use pocket function in Moldwizard, the linked body has not that function toggled on, even if I had it toggled on before. What can I do?

    NX 6 Wave Linker - get view properties from original part

    Exactly that one! I need to have it automatically set; since I am using Moldwizard, what I need is that the holes cut by standard parts (reference set "false") have standard colors on the plates for CAM use.

    Dear all, is there a way to have automatically selected the option "get view property from original part" in the linked body feature? I am not sure about the name of the option, since I am running NX 6 in italian

    NX - how can I load only components of the chosen arrangement?

    And unluckily my case is the second one :( I have a lot of components I do not want to export and in 4 or 5 different combinations.

    NX - how can I load only components of the chosen arrangement?

    thank you cowski. There is a problem about that, which is that when I use 'selected object' as export method, I lose the names of the parts in the assmebly (and I need those names!)

    NX - how can I load only components of the chosen arrangement?

    MOLDWIZARD NX6 - cannot set tap drill dia on auto screw

    Hello again! It does not match anyone of them. The value I need is 10.2, the value I get is 10.5792. Take into consideration that I have customized a), b) and c). So there must be another place it takes that value from!
