using variables in drafts?
(OP)
I am importing a variable used in a part into my draft template. The problem I am having is the format is not right. If I use the distance variable, it comes in with "in"(inch mark) as a suffix. If I use scalar variable, it comes in with only 2 decimal places. I want 3 decimal places with no "in" suffix. I have tried changing the precision in both the properties and the style I'm using. Nothing seems to change it. I am also using ST3.





RE: using variables in drafts?
The property text will be something like %{variablename¦GP}
You need to add the /NU qualifier after the variable name to get rid of the units so it will read %{variablename/NU¦GP}.
There are quite a few qualifiers so look for property text in the Help topics.

Thanks for yor reply BC. I was able to find other property handlers that come in handy.

It's somewhere in Solid Edge Options but I can't remember which tab.
