stockers Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi, I have recently referenced title blocks to the drawing properties for common text in a group of title blocks, like client, date etc. Is is possible to insert only part of a field? say just the first two characters or last two characters. I have one field with all drawing numbers listed for several sheets, can I link each title block to the relevant part of that field, so each sheet picks up a different drawing number? I hope I have made some sense? Oh, I am using full 2010. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm no help here, just popping in to say I haven't found a way yet. I hoped I could use sting expressions within the field but I have yet to find the correct syntax. Hopefully somebody does know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Would it be possible to insert diesel expressions within the field and utilise somehow the substr function ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 it is a long time since I tried diesel, and I wasn't strong then. I think this is one for fuccaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
