Hello folks,

a colleague asked me if I knew a way to copy the name of a selected model tree element to the clipboard.
Since I could not find an out-of-the-box solution, I developed a small tool for this purpose myself:
"Copy Model Tree Element Name To Clipboard"
Maybe someone else would like to use the tool.

I have released a new version 1.2.0 of the tool.
With this you can specify an optional second command line parameter /noext after the trail directory.
This will remove file extensions like ".PRT" or ".ASM".

Domenic, Thank you very much for your new version.

I tested in creo4, when I pasted the 'part name' the result was: "End of Trail File" not the name...

This program only works in creo7? Thanks

Sorry, I checked it again, I had a typo in the OS mapkey.

It works fine in creo4. Thank you

Hi,
I'm very interested in your script but I tried it and, with Creo Parametric 5, Paste give extra characters before and after the the name to copy.

The of the part (the name to COPY) is:
PROVA01
The result of the PASTE operationd is:
%CIPart 'PROVA01' not changes s

I checked the trail file and this 9 characters before and 15 characters after the part name.

I also tried checking the source code .au3 , but my code skills are VERY rusty.
Perhaps the character count to be parsed in the trail.txt file is in one of these files (File.au3; FileConstants.au3) that can't be downloaded?

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I use the tool in Creo8 and it works fine, so if you use Creo5 I think it would work well also.

I don't understand the meaning of "not changes s".

If your part name is PROVA01, when you paste the name, I don't see the relation with any "s"...

Hi Trebla,
the text:

"%CIPart 'PROVA01' not changes s"

is exactly the sequence of characters that the Paste command returns after launching the script.
Not only the name I would like, that is, PROVA01, but also all the characters before and after how I wrote them between ""
So it seems that the .exe script makes a copy of characters higher than that it should copy from the trail.txt file
