Remove letters from string

[pklWNF89]

Hi guys.

Is it possible to get a parts name as a string from the generaltap in iProperties.
And then remove the filetype extension from it?

Not really.  That tab of the iProperties dialog is mostly just a reflection of the Windows file system type properties related to the file.  However, there are several other ways to get the file name of any Inventor document, as long as it actually has one.  If a file was just created using the New command, and has not been saved yet, it will not return a path or file name, because it has not been assigned one yet.

Here are just a few (of many) ways to get just the file name of the current document, without the path or file extension in an iLogic rule.

a = ThisDoc.FileName(False)
b = Split(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.DisplayName,".")(0)
c = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.FullFileName)
MsgBox("a = " & a, , "")
MsgBox("b = " & b, , "")
MsgBox("c = " & c, , "")

Hi @pklWNF89 

Additionally, in iLogic there is a built in method for this:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
