Conversion of a simple Inventor VBA macro to Python

isocam — Tue, 16 May 2023 08:19:47 GMT

Can anybody help?

I have the following Inventor VBA macro:

Quantity = "12"

PartDescription = "TEST PART DESCRIPTION"

OutputString = OutputString & Space(22 - Len(OutputString)) & Space(4 - Len(Quantity)) & Quantity

OutputString = OutputString & Space(28 - Len(OutputString)) & PartDescription

OutputString = OutputString & Space(188 - Len(OutputString)) & "P" & " " & "T"

Can anybody convert the script to Python?

Many thanks in advance!

Darren

Hi @isocam ,

Here is the python code for it:

OutputString = "..." #set initial value Quantity = "12" PartDescription = "TEST PART DESCRIPTION" # OutputString = OutputString & Space(22 - Len(OutputString)) & Space(4 - Len(Quantity)) & Quantity OutputString = f'{OutputString:22.22}{Quantity:4.4}' # OutputString = OutputString & Space(28 - Len(OutputString)) & PartDescription OutputString = f'{OutputString:28.28}{PartDescription}' # OutputString = OutputString & Space(188 - Len(OutputString)) & "P" & " " & "T" OutputString = f'{OutputString:188.188}P T' print(' 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10' ' 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20') print('....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0' '....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0') print(OutputString)

Hope it helps.
