File name in drawing title but not all of it.

[Mark_ATCW]

Hi There,

 

I'm want to add a field category to the drawing as text but instead of showing the entire path to the drawing i just want to show the path to the project task level.

I can add the file path to the drawing location using this field expression: %<\AcVar Filename \f "%tc3%fn1">%

But it shows the entire path to where the drawing is saved: M:\Projects\111\111326\21 Temp project\CADD\Cad\

But i dont want all that, I just want to show to project task level: M:\Projects\111\111326\21 Temp project\

 

Or even better still if I could have this text written to where I'm going to save the PDF: M:\Projects\111\111326\21 Temp project\CADD\Cad\PDF\

I know this pretty much cant happen

 

Thanks for you help in advance.

Regards,

Mark

Use a Field with DIESEL. 

 

For the first use this and adjust the last number to show what you want.

$(substr,$(getvar,"dwgprefix"),1,$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar,"dwgprefix")),9))

 

For the last example use this....

 

$(getvar,"dwgprefix")PDF\
