Folder Name for dwg

[ryanrileywelding]

I'm looking for a way to reference a folder name that contains my part / assembly.  I want to use that folder name in the title block of my drawing.

For Example:

.workspace\I want this folder name\not this folder\or this folder\part.ipt

OR

.workspace\I want this folder name\not this folder\or this folder\assembly.iam

I've searched around for awhile now, but I can't find a solution.

Thanks for your help,

-Ryan

Thanks Cadmanto.  Unfortunately that's not what I'm looking for.

I am only looking to 'capture' our customer's folder name of the Inventor part/assembly's full file path.  Then 'pass' the folders name into my drawing to be used in the title block.

Our company's network structure is like this:

server\drawings\customer 1\machineA\replacement part01.ipt

server\drawings\customer 2

I'm hoping to automate the insertion of our customer's name based on what folder the part file or assembly file is stored.

I think then the only way you are going to accomplish this is through iLogic.

I am not very prolific with iLogic so that is not something I can help you with.

You might want to consider posting this in the customization forum to see if anyone there has a routine that can help you with this.

I think iLogic is going to be the way to go.  If I could somehow isolate a certain part of file path string and set it to the 'Company' iProperty, then everything would work.
