"nodes customization" problem

[Kalle_2020]

Hello,
I am using catia v5, and trying to change the tree information in Tools/options/nodes customization.
#DR# show the description information.
What I would like to do is to only show a small part of the information in "Description", only the first 5 characters.
Like this in VB. left.(DR,5)

Does anyone know how to do it?

Regards,
Kalle

Hi.

You can code a computed attribute with CAA and display it in node string using #@<attribute name>@# notation.

As an alternative you can display one of standard attributes that you don't use (i.e. instance description with #DI#) and fill it with any text with Automation or Knowledgeware.
