Hello guys,

I would like to ask for help to display FILENAME in general note but without file format.

I do display it by showing standard iProperties : FILENAME general note...

I have tried to write short code to generate new property, but i don't know how to select FILENAME parameter

I think the way I try to do it is good, but can go over this problem and I can't find soulution in google

Would be greatful for tips

Regards

Hi!

You can create a custom parameter to get the file name without extension, then add that parameter to the annotation.

' Get the full document file name (with extension)
Dim fullFileName As String
fullFileName = ThisDoc.FileName(True) ' True includes extension

' Remove the extension to get just the file name
Dim fileNameWithoutExtension As String
fileNameWithoutExtension = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fullFileName)

' Set the Part Number to match the file name (no extension)
iProperties.Value("Custom", "FNnExt") = fileNameWithoutExtension

or just:

iProperties.Value("Custom", "FNnEXT") = ThisDoc.FileName(False)
