Code to delete <SCALE> from Edit View Label

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I would like to delete Scale from all views on my sheet. Now I have to erase it manually and it takes a lot of time as I have to do this on hundreds of drawings. 

Any way to do this in iLogic? I found a thread with something similar, however I'm new to iLogic and could not find a way to edit the code to make it work for deleting Scale.

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous 

Try running this rule in your drawing 🙂

For Each oSheet As Sheet In ThisDrawing.Document.Sheets
	For Each oView As DrawingView In oSheet.DrawingViews
		oView.Label.FormattedText = oView.Label.FormattedText.Replace("<DrawingViewScale/>", "")
	Next
Next

Works perfectly!

However I forgot to mention that I also want to delete the parentheses before and after SCLAE. Format text now look like this: <VIEW>-<VIEW> ( <SCALE> )

I guess this is a simple fix but I'm not familiar with this coding language.

Anyone of these options should work then 🙂

For Each oSheet As Sheet In ThisDrawing.Document.Sheets
	For Each oView As DrawingView In oSheet.DrawingViews
		oView.Label.FormattedText = oView.Label.FormattedText.Replace("<DrawingViewScale/>", "").Replace("(", "").Replace(")", "")
	Next
Next

Or

For Each oSheet As Sheet In ThisDrawing.Document.Sheets
	For Each oView As DrawingView In oSheet.DrawingViews
		oView.Label.FormattedText = "<DrawingViewName/>-<DrawingViewName/>"
	Next
Next
