I am trying to create a Property that combines the file name and configuration. I have created mutiple configuration for example 1, 2, 3. And the file name is Marker. I would like a property to show Marker 1 or Marker 2 or Marker 3.
I have a property name "TEST" showing "$PRP:"SW-File Name"+"Configuration" but it does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
Dave
I tried their method with no positive results. I've seen it done, using "Configuration" in a property string. But I can't remeber how to do it. I appreciate the patience on this matter.
I circled in Red the string. To the right of that circled in yellow is the result. I am looking for it to display "Configuration test 333"
I found what I was doing wrong. I forgot to add the "SW-" at the start of the second string. We are good to go. Again thank you for your patience.

To put a twist on this, is it possible to perhaps remove the first 12 charaters of the file name and only display the remaining characters?
ie. The file name is xxxxx-xxx - Block. I would only like "Block" displayed as the file name portion.
Yes absolutely.
Just omit that syntax in the configuration specific property name field.
Just use the $PRP:"SW-Configuration Name" alone
Yes this can be done via equations. This might be helpful: https://forum.solidworks.com/message/388929#388929
