Automatic text
Automatic text
(OP)
Is there a way to use automatic text to get the entire path of the location of a part file?
I would like to put it in the drawing so people know where to find the file.
I use <W@$SH_PART_NAME> for the name, but can find nothing for the path.
Could possibly use an expression, but I don't know the syntax, or if that is even possible/available.

Now if this is something that you wish to automate in some manner, a simple program could be written which would extract this data from the OS and create say an Attribute which could be linked to a note on your Drawing, in essence creating what you wish. Granted, you'd have to rerun the program to update that note if the file is ever moved to a different location, but even this could be automated by running this program every time a file is opened.

I'll just use the explorer to get the path and copy & paste.
Thanks again.
