XS_​DRAWING_​PLOT_​FILE_​NAME_​A

Category in Advanced options dialog: Printing

Use this advanced option to define print file names for assembly drawings.

Enter any combination of text and options:

NAME

NAME.-

NAME.

DRAWING_NAME

DRAWING_NAME.

DRAWING_NAME.-

REVISION

DRAWING_REVISION

REV_MARK

REVISION_MARK

DRAWING_REVISION_MARK

REV

TITLE

DRAWING_TITLE

UDA:<drawing user-defined attribute>, for example, UDA:DRAWING_USERFIELD_1

TPL:<template attribute>, for example TPL:TITLE1 or TPL:TITLE2

<variable>?- <text>

The question mark (?) can be used for querying if a <variable> is set, and if it does, the <text> after the question mark will be printed. See the example below.

This advanced option is role specific. When the type SYSTEM(ROLE) is in use, the default value is used. When the type MODEL(ROLE) or DRAWING(ROLE) is in use, you can change the value, which is then the same for all users in the current model.

Example

The example below results in the assembly drawing PDF name E_P1_PLATE_Revision=2.pdf:

E_%NAME.%_%TITLE%%REV?_Revision=%%REV%

E = is the text you want to have in the beginning.

NAME. = P1, which is the part position without punctuation.

TITLE = PLATE, which is the name that you have entered in the Name box in drawing properties.

REV? = Empty, if there are no revisions. If a revision exists, the text after the question mark (?) together with the revision value according to the revision information defined in Rev.No. in the Revision handling dialog are written in the plot file name.

Revision= is the text to be printed, if REV gives a value. If REV does not give a value, the text Revision= will not be printed.

REV = 2, because 2 is the revision number in the Revision handling dialog.
