Shorten Text in a Note Callout

Shorten Text in a Note Callout

How would I shorten the text displayed for a parameter in a note. For our system, our File Names are stored as: for example: XYY4512999-1_x_TM_CP. And this is what is displayed when I use the parameter &model_name on a multi-sheet drawing, which defines the components of an assembly. However, all I really want to display is XYY4512999-1 (everything up until the first underscore). Is there a switch or modifier I can apply along with the parameter callout which will cause the note to only display the text up until the underscore character?

The only way is to use another parameter in your titleblock that is made by using the extract command in a relation to drive the new shortened parameter.

to complete what @BenLoosli said, you can find an example in this thread
