XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME
This advanced option must be set in an initialization (.ini) file.
Use this advanced option to define print file names for
drawings if the file name is missing from the Print drawings dialog. This advanced option is used if you have not entered a value for some of
the following advanced options: XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_A,
XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_C, XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_G,
XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_W, or XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_M.
This advanced option also affects how the exported DWG/DXF/DGN files are named.
Enter any combination of text and options:

You can use template attributes that can be found in Template Editor. The actual values for these attributes are entered in the drawing properties dialog. Examples:

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
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 single part drawing, for example, 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.
Note:
The print file name switches
%DRAWING_NAME%
and %NAME% that
should produce an underscore in the print file name (P_1) do not work if XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING does not use a
separator between the values (for example, %ASSEMBLY_PREFIX%%ASSEMBLY_POS%), or if XS_USE_ASSEMBLY_NUMBER_FOR is set.
To make the switches work, do the following:
- If you want to use
XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING, use a dot (.) slash (/) or hyphen (-) between the values, for example,%ASSEMBLY_PREFIX%.%ASSEMBLY_POS%, or similar. - Leave
XS_USE_ASSEMBLY_NUMBER_FORempty.
Note:
When you define a switch in the
Advanced options dialog, you only use single percent signs around the switch %xxx%. When you
define a switch for an advanced option in an .ini file, you need to use double percent signs around the switch
%%xxx%%. For example, type %%BOLT_NUMBER%%*D%%HOLE.DIAMETER%% for the advanced option XS_BOLT_MARK_STRING_FOR_SIZE when you define it in an .ini file.
