NX Template Authoring: Dual-input schemes for Expressions [NX 2406]

From time to time in NX Template Studio Author, it's useful to allow users to choose between more than one input style for a specific expression. With the June 2024 release of NX, you can now add multiple widgets to control the same expression in different ways, and these will automatically stay synchronized. This can be useful in the context of simple/advanced or beginner/advanced dialog designs, in particular, or can be used to couple a slider and a direct key-in entry, for example.
And because the Template Studio Author environment is shared by Feature Templates, Product Templates, and Deformable Components, this enhancement applies to all three of these useful NX Template styles! Please share examples of how you creatively use this new capability!

Hello Taylor, again a very usefull video! Can I ask a question that is a bit off topic here? I have made a PTS part with 2 varables, for example width and heigth. In this example the width can be a range of values, and the heigth has a list of choises, but is depending on the assembly it is put in. When adding this PTS part multiple times to an assembly (clone) it wouls be very intresting if the heigth value can automatically be controlled bij an expression in the assembly. Is this possible without connecting the heigth value to the expression for every PTS part manually?
In other words, I want to automatically 'pull' the expression value from an assembly to a PTS part.

If I understand your question correctly, it sounds like you're wanting to add an image to your dialog? You can use the "Label" widget in Template Studio Author to do this. This video shows some examples of this and shows the ability to swap this image dynamically if needed.

I created a template that has some dimensions shown in readtext only field but for some unkown reason this dimensions show more zeros than the value is show in expressions editor, so in Expressions editor it is so 12.5 but in the template it is 12.500000...do you know how can I change it?

@Stocjon1985: Great question. We've noticed this as well, and we're adding a specific control for the number of displayed decimal places in both ReadOnly and Label widgets in an upcoming release of NX. Thanks for asking!
