I have my drawing template set up to receive title block entries from my part file's custom properties. I'd like to go a step farther and extract my part number and revision from the file name without explicitly entering the info in custom properties / title blocks. I'm seeing similar queries in other threads but I don't know enough about macros to successfully patch one of my own together for my scenario. Here's some specifics of my file structures:
- part file & drawing file are always named identical to each other
- Part number can be any length of alphanumeric characters and often includes a "-" (dash)
- Revision may be one, two, or more characters, may include be a "-" (dash) or " " (space)
- file name format is "(part number) Rev (revision)
- example
- part number is 101010-201
- revision is C SUB B
- file name is 101010-201 Rev C SUB B.sldprt
Is it possible to get there from here?
