Field help please

[joshman]

Greetings,

I am using MTEXT and a field to show the location of my drawings when plotted for any future reference.

Currently, it shows the server name on my drawing at the beginning. IE: \\SERVER\........

Is there any way to eliminate that portion of the Filename field?

Current field expression is %<\AcVar Filename \f "%tc1%fn7">%

(which, I'm afraid, I have no clue what it means).

Thanks!

Open your Field to the editor.

Do you have the options for Filename only, Path only, and Path and Filename?

[joshman]

I do; however, I do need the path. I do not want the server name, that is all.

[Charles_Shade]

Likely no since the Server is part of the Path.

The answer is in this screenshot for the Fielname variety:

A vey good idea! Thanks! Say, how does one go about editing the field code?

[Charles_Shade]

I am not sure you can.

Do you know your way to the Customizations Forum? They may know over there.
