Need To Insert Barcode Into Titleblock

[Anonymous]

I need to insert a barcode into my drawing titleblock. I have the font loaded that I need, I just can't get it formatted so my barcode reader will read it. I am using the field "filename" to drive the text in the barcode. My issue is I need and asterisk as a prefix and a suffix to my file name so my barcode reader knows where to "start and stop". How can I format the field "filename" with an asterisk (*) as a prefix and suffix?

Since fieidcodes are multline text you shoud just be able to put an asterisk at the start of your text then insert your field and then put an asterisk at the end.

Try the attached. You can change the font of the field (highlighted in grey) to whatever font you want
