Upchain attribute codes in Tables - Adding Backslash

HansChristianFossum — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 14:10:09 GMT

When creating a table in my Inventor drawing template with Upchain attribute codes, backslashes are added to the code when creating a drawing based on the template.

This results in codes who doesn't work.

E.g. The code looks like {%03%} in the template and in the drawing based on the template the code looks like \{%03%\}

Se attached screen shots.

Hi @HansChristianFossum that is an interesting one! A few questions for you:

What version of Inventor are you using? Does it behave the same in other Inventor versions?
It looks like you're creating a sort of revision table. Does this happen when you enter codes into the title blocks or anywhere else in the template?
Does it happen when creating both IDW and DWG drawings from the template?

Cheers.

Hi @emily.caulfield , I'm using 2025. Haven't been able to test in other versions.

I'm creating an ordinary table in Inventor, not revision table. It doesn't happen i the title block.

I have only tested it on idw's.

I made a work around creating an empty table and putting text with the codes on top. That works, but not ideal. I assume this is an Inventor issue, not an Upchain issue.

Hi @HansChristianFossum yes it sounds like an issue with Inventor. I only tested the codes in the title block and didn't see this issue. I guess you'll have to use the workaround.

@emily.caulfield should I duplicate this post to the Inventor forum?

@HansChristianFossum yes I'd ask there as well to see what they have to say about it.

@HansChristianFossum- I have the same problem in Inventor 2024. Did you find a solution?

One workaround that seems to work is to remove the table from the drawing template and manually copy/paste the working table from another drawing.

Yes, a fix will be released soon.

Workaround: Create the curly codes outside of the table as ordinary text on top of the table. Not ideal, but it works.
