Hi,
In a tileblock field we want to use a diesel expression to show the first capital of the drawing state.
This is a part of a fully automated ID representation of a drawing driven through SheetSetManager and Vault metadatafields..
What it looks like see attachement.
What i use for these fields in the block attribute you see here:
%<\AcVar CustomDP.Project number \f "%tc3">%-%<\AcVar CustomDP.Document type \f "%tc3">%-%<\AcDiesel $(substr,%<\AcVar CustomDP.Status>%,1,1)>%%<\AcVar CustomDP.Revision \f "%tc3">%-%<\AcVar CustomDP.Discipline \f "%tc3">%-%<\AcVar CustomDP.Project phase \f "%tc3">%-%<\AcSm Sheet.Number \f "%tc3">%
In this example (see attachement) Status is Work in Progress so it should show only doubleU (W) and it does - see the lower red circle.
This is the part: %<\AcDiesel $(substr,%<\AcVar CustomDP.Status>%,1,1)>%
But the problem is, when evaluated, the diesel sexpression puts the evaluated valua as text in the diesel expression, so:
$(substr,%<\AcVar CustomDP.Status>%,1,1) becomes $(substr,Work in Progress,1,1) instantly.
And every Status change will cahnge the status filed but not the first caharcter in the "project number / drawingnumber" field
Ofcourse i would not, and the diesel expression stays and evaluated every Regen or whatever is responsable for evaluating this.
I am native dutch, so i hope my english is clear enough.
Someone any idea?
Klaas
