3. Write the attribute definition in the Mark content dialog box.
Note that you need to write ASSEMBLY. or CAST_UNIT. in the beginning depending of the material.
For example ASSEMBLY. or CAST_UNIT.USERDEFINED.ACN.
Click OK.

4. Click Modify and then OK.

 

Note that you can type only one user-defined attribute in the Mark content dialog box. It is not possible to use any formulas. If you want to use a formula in a part mark, you need to create a Template for it.
