Extracting full file path into drawing

[DieMan44]

Hi. I'm creating new drawing templetes for NX5. I have everything set up except for an automated text to get the full file path from our network. Is there something simular to <W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_DENOMINATOR> but gets the files path.

John's grip file produced exactly what I wanted. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get it to activate from a button I tried to make. I have configured another button to populate some of the fields in my tile block. See example below:


' NX 4.0.0.25
' Journal created by Henry on Tue Mar 21 10:57:55 2006 FLE Standard Time
'
Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen

Module NXJournal
Sub Main

Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work

Dim displayPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Display

' ----------------------------------------------
' Menu: File->Properties
' ----------------------------------------------
Dim markId1 As Session.UndoMarkId
markId1 = theSession.SetUndoMark(Session.MarkVisibility.Visible, "Edit Properties")

Dim TimeNote As DateTime
TimeNote = System.DateTime.Now()
Dim TimeNoteString as String() = TimeNote.GetDateTimeFormats()

workPart.SetAttribute("DATE", TimeNoteString(1))
theSession.Parts.Work.SetAttribute("FILENAME",theSession.Parts.Work.Leaf)


' ----------------------------------------------
' Menu: Tools->Journal->Stop
' ----------------------------------------------

End Sub
End Module

What I would like to know is if I can get the code to either activate John's grip, or the code that will do what John's grip does. Thanks!

Here is John's grip.

Try 'workPart.FullPath'. That should return a string containing the work part file's path.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!!
