Question

model_name + "custom text" in a drawing parameter relation

is there any way to add custom "text" to end of drawing parameter relation below?

 

we'd like to truncate the "model name last 3 characters" then add text "DOC1"

for our drawing title blocks

 

DOC_NO=extract(rel_model_name(),1,string_length(rel_model_name())-3)"DOC1"

 

thanks

Rich

Drawing programs have a greatly reduced subset of valid commands.  You should be able to display this on the drawing by using a single cell repeat region as long as you don't actually need a drawing parameter populated with this value.  What version of Creo Parametric are you running?

Example with Creo Parametric 8.0

You had it close.

DOC_NO=extract(rel_model_name(),1,(string_length(rel_model_name())-3))+'DOC1'

Test the extract portion to be sure it gives you what you want.

    That will work as long as they want to add the relation to the model, but it won't work in a drawing unless it's added to a repeat region.

    Do you have 1 drawing per model? You might be able to add the relation in the model itself, then reference that parameter in the drawing. This might be a little more flexible to use than dealing with repeat regions.
