cut off text in notes

[krow72]

Is it possible to cut off the part name in text. I know that you can use [.4] to cut off your decimal place number to 4 places so what I am asking is there something similar to use with text. My company uses numbering systems for our drawings and like to use _text to describe the part. In my title block I like to use &dwg_name but want to cut off the _text at the end. Can this be done?

hi,
you may create new parameter called "dwg_name1" to use in dwg title block.
Add relation to truncate text from the original parameter using extract function as shown below:

extract([parameter name], [position], [length])
Returns a string of [length] characters from the string contained in [parameter name], starting at [position].

I havent tried it..but it should work if ur dwg. number is having certain fixed number of characters..

Sachin - I have worked around my problem by adding a parameter in my part called PART_NUMBER and typed in the number without the extra naming convention. I then used &PART_NUMBER in my title block and it works fine. I thank you

for the link to the relations. I will study this and hopefully it will help me in the future.
