unigraphics file path 2

[mgoble]

I was wondering if there is any way wo bring the full file path of the location of a ug part file into expressions. I know you can bring the file name into expressions. We have a very defined file structure that has the customer and the project description in our folder system. I am trying to completely automate out title blocks.

I currently have the file, the drawing number, the assembly file, the part description, the creation date, the drawing scale, and the sheet number.

I would like to get the customer and the project description, and possibly the person that designed the part. I know if I can get the file path I can extract the customer and the description from that. Is there any way of doing this?

Also is there any way of bringing in the person that designed the part. I know Unigraphics stores this in the part history.

Any suggestions?

thank you,

Mike

For all caps, use the .ToUpper method on the string object

For the 2nd question, the answer is "yes". There are several ways to do it, probably the easiest is to use the .Replace string method. This will allow you to substitute an underscore or dash with a space or empty string.
