Hello,
Is there a way in inventor to put the name of the project shortcut into the titleblock of your 2D drawings? It may be in VBA.

any of the iproperties of a part or assembly can easily be linked to the titleblock..
RE: Exporting project shortcut name automatically into titleblock
My boss wants me to edit the templates so the projectcode is automaticly included in the titleblock.
Example: (project I'm now working on):
Project: Stadsbaeder Volvo Gent
For short or can be as Release ID: SBVG
And it's the short code that he wants in the titleblock.
Now is my question, after long searching and not finding a way, how on earth do you do that.

and here is a snippit that will write the project name to the project iproperty automatically.
CODE -->
Dim IPJ as String Dim IPJ_Name As String Dim IPJ_Path As String Dim FNamePos As Long 'set a reference to the FileLocations object. IPJ = ThisApplication.FileLocations.FileLocationsFile 'get the location of the last backslash seperator FNamePos = InStrRev(IPJ, "\", -1) 'get the project file name with the file extension IPJ_Name = Right(IPJ, Len(IPJ) - FNamePos) 'get the project name (without extension) IPJ_ShortName = Left(IPJ_Name, Len(IPJ_Name) - 4) 'get the path of the folder containing the project file IPJ_Folder_Location = Left(IPJ, Len(IPJ) - Len(IPJ_Name)) 'Converts the project file name to UPPER CASE IPJ_Shortname = UCase(IPJ_Shortname) iProperties.Value("Project", "Project") = IPJ_Shortname iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = TrueRE: Exporting project shortcut name automatically into titleblock
