A Note in NX7.5 with a substring of <W@$SH_PART_NAME> without "_dwg1" 1

[PSI-CAD]

Hi,

<W@$SH_PART_NAME> gave me drawing_part_name_dwg1 for example

I would like to have a note with "drawing_part_name" instead of "drawing_part_name_dwg1"

I found a grip programm in:

http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=329148

to obtain attribut FILENAME

then CTRL-E

full_name = ug_askPartAttrValue( "FILENAME" )

name_without_dwg1 = replaceString( nom_complet, "_dwg1.prt", "" )

It's a little bit complex

Is it possible to have an easy method ?

TIA

If you are using the master model method and you want the name of the model (not the drawing), use <W@$SH_MASTER_PART_NAME>.

Hi Cowski,

I already know that but I don't want to use this solution

You can eliminate the grip program by using ug_askcurrentworkpart().

name = replacestring(ug_askcurrentworkpart(), "_dwg.prt", "")

If/when the part name changes, you will need to run "update for external change" to update the expression.
