How to get only certain NX attributes to be transferred to JT when you translate a NX part file to a JT file? When you have set "getAttributes = true" in tessUG.config all attributes in NX will be transferred to JT upon an export. 



Solution

If you for instance have the custom attribute "my_visual" defined in NX with a value, you can make it become the only attribute being transferred to a JT file by defining,
------------------------------------------------------- 
Filter {
MetadataKey = "my_visual"
MetadataFilter = "INCLUDE"
}
------------------------------------------------------- 
in your tessUG.config file, (in addition to getAttributes = true). 
The Filter section in the tessUG.config would normally be located after the "EAITranslator" section in a typical tessUG.config file.

So this filters out all attributes, system as well as custom, except the "INCLUDED" one(s). 
Please note: You need to have quotation marks around "INCLUDE" in order for it to work.
