Is there a way to automatic fill the filename in drawing?
Yes! I know about <W@$SH_PART_NAME> but as far as I can see it is not the real file name if I customize the following field in customer defaults:
Assemblies: Miscellaneous(tab): Part Name Style Attribute.
If I change this attribute to "Description" I can see the description attribute as a file name. But when I try to call again <W@$SH_PART_NAME> it calls description attribute, but I still want to have a field with filename in the drawing.
If I try to call <W@$FILENAME> in the drawing, I receive an wrong value: "39 FILENAME for 346383" and it does not have any sense.
Any ideas?
