XS_​DRAWING_​PLOT_​FILE_​NAME_​M

Category in Advanced options dialog: Printing

Use this advanced option to define print file names for multidrawings.

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

%DRAWING_NAME.% - %DRAWING_TITLE%%DRAWING_REVISION? - Rev %%REVISION_MARK%

If you define %DRAWING_NAME.% - %DRAWING_TITLE%%DRAWING_REVISION? - Rev %%REVISION_MARK%, a .pdf file with a name P1 - PLATE - Rev A.pdf will be created from a multidrawing where

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

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

DRAWING_REVISION? = 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.

- Rev is the text to be printed, if DRAWING_REVISION gives a value. If DRAWING_REVISION does not give a value, the text - Rev will not be printed. In this case, the plot file name will not have REVISION_MARK either because the drawing has not been revised.

REVISION_MARK = A, because A has been defined as the revision mark in the Revision handling dialog.
