Part of filepath in titleblock

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm currently working on standardizing the template of the titleblock of our drawings. In de description box are 2 lines; 1 is model description (which is defined in the iProperties of the model) and the othe is project description. This project description I would like to retrieve from the file path where projects are foldered by number and description: D:/Workspace/Documents/Projects/0000 Project name/...

I would like that the project description on the drawing is created from the file path and shows "0000 Project name" in the title block. Is this in anyway possible?

Best regards,

Yordi

Hi yordi.verbraak,

I didn't understand if you were doing this with iLogic or some other method, but here is an ilogic example.

More ilogic examples here:

   Next
   
   'show the project number folder
   'assumes that it is the folder that contains the file
   'therefore we use the upperbound of the array minus 1
   j = UBound(strArray)-1
   MessageBox.Show("The project folder: " & vbLf & strArray(j), "iLogic")
