Hi.
I'm currently struggling with with a use case in Creo Schematics that hopefully a more experienced user can help me with.
I want to extract part of the fiber name into a new parameter of the fiber (e.g. Signal).
Let me explain: If the fiber uses the name format W## (Name e.g. W03) then I want to calculate the value of another parameter that calculate and extracts the number from the name.
Example 1:
Name = W03
Signal = 03 (calculated = yes)
Example 2:
Name = W10
Signal = 10 (calculated = yes)
I'm not sure if this makes any sense.
I assume that Java needs to be involved somehow but thats not my area och expertise.

I'd take a look at the ArtifactName.slice function. It's an existing java function available in Creo Schematics and lets you slice part of the name either from a character or for a number of characters from the start/end.
Thank you very much.
I might be wrong but from what I understand when I read about this the function is only available for labels? I need a parameter to use a similar function as {ArtifactName.slice(2,3)} or {ArtifactName.slice(-02)} but is must be a part of the name in order to be correctly reported to Creo Parametric.
