Plate Label order

Hi I have been trying to get the Plate Label to read for example

10PLx75x215

I don't want "Lg" at the end as it is plate not Flat Bar. I want it to be cut from 10Plate.

 

The order is all messed up, I have managed to get the Precision down to whole numbers... that was quite a mission. But the Order is wrong... should be "10PLx75x215" in that order. Is this possible in AS?

Try looking at the management tools > defaults,  use filter for plate name, you should see one for this, you can alter the combination of tokens and text.

 

Plate name
PLT%Thicknessx% Width
General name of a plate, e.g. used for editing the structured Bill-of-Materials.

Hi @johnjmbennett , Thanks for replying,

Yes I have been trying that.... I don't know where %Length Lg is coming from... looking at this I shouldn't be getting Length at all... ?

The length is coming from the labeling strategy. You need to edit the label content from the Annotation strategy of the drawing style manager...

Or if you're manually inserting, edit the label content definition (by using "Change label" option when inserting label manually)...

 

Make sure you set "User" as the default first...
