Concatenate?

[david.garrigues]

Hey everyone I am trying to figure out if there is a way to edit the script by useing the block names from the SDF by using the BLOCKNAME property.  I have tried lots of different things and cannot come up with anything?

CITY_FURNITURE.MANUAL_STYLE = ("3D Model/Vehicles/"  + (SOURCE["BLOCKNAME"]);

CITY_FURNITURE.MANUAL_STYLE = (CONCAT "3D Model/Vehicles/", ', "Blue Compact Car");

Any help would be on the better side of Awesome!

thanks

Sorry, David, I didn't see this before. It might be too late to help you, but someone might find this useful.

In order to concatenate, just use the + symbol. I don't normally use Blockname, but you definitely can. Just  be sure on the Feature Class tab of the Mapexport dialog that you pick Blockname in the properties to export. Looking at your first sample, I think you have it right, but you added some parentheses. These are not required and maybe that's what is making it fail.

Here's my script for placing InfraWorks symbols on AutoCAD points that have had Map Object Data attached:

CITY_FURNITURE.MANUAL_STYLE = "3D Model/City Furniture/" + SOURCE["Type"];

"Type" is the name of the Object Data field in AutoCAD Map.
