How do you change the browser node name in a drawing?

GosponZ — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:01:20 GMT

Is it possible to make iLogic rule to do this:

In dwg Place part and in Browser to see part name without extra typing. Not Sheet 1 sheet 2 etc.

That would be huge help.

Thank you

Here you go:

If (ThisDrawing.ModelDocument Is Nothing) Then Return
	modelName = IO.Path.GetFileName(ThisDrawing.ModelDocument.FullFileName)
	ActiveSheet.Sheet.Name = iProperties.Value(modelName, "Project", "Part Number")

I'm not getting that error in 2011-2013

Is there anything else in the iLogic rule? Can you post it?

To make sure it's copied correctly you can also copy and paste from this .txt file attached.

Ah multiple sheets with diffrent parts? Try this.

oDoc = ThisDoc.Document
oSheets = oDoc.Sheets
	For Each oSheet In oSheets
		oSheet.activate
		oView = oSheet.DrawingViews.Item(1)
		modelName = oView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument
		oProp = modelName.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties")
		ActiveSheet.Sheet.Name = oProp.Item("Part Number").Value 
	Next
oSheets(1).activate

I copy paste straight from web and that is not good idea. I place code into word and then i copy paste into rule and is working like charm. Thanks a lot

You're quite welcome 😉

And yes, paste directly into a .txt file before pasting into iLogic.
