NX Feature Templates: Using a Label to show a Warning Message [NX 2206]

I got a great question today about whether we could create a Label in a Product Template dialog that would conditionally display a warning message when a particular input is not incorrect. We of course have a variety of automatic checkers built into NX that can display NX Alert messages, but with a little bit of creativity we can certainly do this inside the dialog in a Label as well. This example walks through the basic "Visibility" control first, and then dives deeper into creating a dynamic string in the Label that incorporates an updated Expression value as part of the message string. Please let me know if you find this useful!

Is it possible to block the OK and the Apply buttons when test==false, so the user can't create the part when some parameter is wrong?

[@taylorandersonnxvideos]

Great question! Most of the parameter entry widgets have the ability to add limits (upper and/or lower) to each input. If one of these limits is exceeded, the OK and APPLY buttons will automatically be disabled, and warning messages about the out-of-range inputs will be displayed. Does that make sense?

Hi Taylor, the title of this video is "NX Feature Template ..." but you are showing PTS-Studio. Do we have same function in Feature-Template Author?

[@taylorandersonnxvideos]

Hi, Michael! Yes, because we're using the common Template Studio Author environment now, this technique works the same for Product Templates, Feature Templates, and Deformable Components. :-)
