Custom Properties / Callouts

[SLemin]

Hey guys,

If I create a customer property, in this instance called 'SITE' and fill it using info from the propseed file, I'd like to fill it with something that looks like this:

'ABC blahblahblah'

Then on the drawing border I'd like to have a callout which gives the 'SITE' variable, but only the first three characters. Is this possible and if so, how?

Many thanks in advance,

Simon

something else I should ask, Is this possible to do with Teamcenter Express forms? i.e. can I populate information in a form on TCx and have it populate the drawing border from a callout?

Hmm, can't be sure but I suspect you'd have to split ABC and blahblahblah to be separate entities.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

Can you make the text box linked in your sheet small enough to only show 3 characters.

Don't think so.
You are using property text which is placed using the Call-Out command and the text does not have a 'box' around it.
