Were the existing attributes saved as "number" type, "string" type, or something else?

If they were created as "number" attributes, you can get the values with code similar to that shown below:

Const attributeName As String = "TEST"
Dim attributeInfo As NXObject.AttributeInformation

Dim testVal As Double

If workPart.HasUserAttribute(attributeName, NXObject.AttributeType.Real, -1) Then
attributeInfo = workPart.GetUserAttribute(attributeName, NXObject.AttributeType.Real, -1)
testVal = attributeInfo.RealValue

lw.WriteLine("attribute value: " & testVal.ToString)
Else
lw.WriteLine("the work part does not have a number attribute named: " & attributeName)
End If

Once you have the 2 values, you can multiply them together and assign the value to a new attribute. If all the attributes are assigned to the same part, you might be able to create an expression that will update when the attribute values change and assign the updated value to an attribute.

In general, the .SetUserAttribute method is used to create an attribute on an object. If you record a journal while creating an attribute on the desired object, you will get some useful code to start with. Assigning an attribute to the work part would look something like this:

workPart.SetUserAttribute(_attributeTitle, -1, _attributeValue, Update.Option.Later)
