Plot Stamp Options |
|
|
Hi,
We are wanting to include the drawing file name on plots but when we select
the Drawing Name option in the Plot Stamp fields it includes the full file
path as well. We are using LT 2002. Anyone know if it's possible to change
this so that it includes just the filename on it's own.
Thanks

I don't know if you can change it there but I know a work around that I
use. In express tools under text there is rtext choose that then diesel
as the input and paste this in: Drawing file: $(getvar, "dwgname")
This will show "Drawing File: filename.dwg
Insert this in your title block where you want it to show up and it will
work every time as expected unlike plot stamp..
Check the help file under express tools for rtext for more information
and what to expect if your using xref's etc.
Good luck, Rich

Thanks for the suggestion Rich. Unfortunately we are using LT and don't have
Express tools with that.
