Can I customize file names when exporting multiple views to DWGs?

My apologizes if this is a question with a simple answer, I may have missed it somewhere! I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't require a secondary step to rename (Ant Renamer, writing some lisp, or whatever) them.

 

I am exporting multiple views as DWGs to create backgrounds.

 

When I set Naming: to Automatic - Short, it produces files named like:

FloorPlan-2D_L1_Interiors.dwg,

FloorPlan-2D_L1_Structural.dwg,

FloorPlan-2D_L2_Interiors.dwg, etc.

 

The 2D_L2_Interiors is the name of the view, and it is a FloorPlan so it adds that as a prefix. I am looking for a way to force Revit to ignore the prefix.

 

Is there a way to export these so they are automatically generated like:

2D_L1_Interiors.dwg,

2D_L1_Structural.dwg,

2D_L2_Interiors.dwg, etc.

 

Does the Naming: Manual (Specify file name) option have the ability to use fields for parts of the name, perhaps taken from Project Parameters or something? So in the filename box I'd be able to say {View Style}-{View Group}-{View Name}.dwg and end up 3D-Interiors-SomeViewName.dwg?

 

Or should I download Ant Renamer and call it a day?

 

Thank you very much!

I don't think that there's a way to remove that prefix within Revit.
