I created a folder template for assembly parts called ASM. the ASM template just creates a folder tree with a suffix name, and creates 5-6 subdirectories. I want the users to only be able to make an ASM folder structure in a directory ".\ENG\ASM*".
However, I want to create ASM folders in project engineering folders. If I configure the template to use absolute root folder, ASM folders will always go in the same root folder, and I cant create new ASM per project. And if I put current folder, the user can create ASM folders anywhere instead of under ENG folder.
for example, I want to create the two type of folders
C:\EPDM_Sandbox\Projects\Project_A\ENG\ASM_A, where ASM_A can only be created under ".\ENG\". A is just a variable name attached to ASM folder title
C:\EPDM_Sandbox\Projects\Project_B\ENG\ASM_B, where ASM_B can only be created under ".\ENG\"
I have been thinking about this more. I can have two variables in that are prompted for user input when using the template
t_projname=Name of Project
t_ASMname=Name of Assembly
and set up the "files and folders" portion of the template like this...
C:\EPDM_Sandbox\Projects
--> %t_projname%
--> ENG
--> %t_ASMname%
--> Folder_1
--> Folder_2
is there a better way of doing this?
