Upchain attribute codes in Tables - Adding Backslash

[HansChristianFossum]

When creating a table in my Inventor drawing template with Upchain attribute codes, backslashes are added to the code when creating a drawing based on the template.

This results in codes who doesn't work.

E.g. The code looks like {%03%} in the template and in the drawing based on the template the code looks like \{%03%\}

Hi @HansChristianFossum that is an interesting one! A few questions for you:

• What version of Inventor are you using? Does it behave the same in other Inventor versions?
• It looks like you're creating a sort of revision table. Does this happen when you enter codes into the title blocks or anywhere else in the template?
• Does it happen when creating both IDW and DWG drawings from the template?

Cheers.

Hi @emily.caulfield , I'm using 2025. Haven't been able to test in other versions.

I'm creating an ordinary table in Inventor, not revision table. It doesn't happen i the title block.

I have only tested it on idw's.

I made a work around creating an empty table and putting text with the codes on top. That works, but not ideal. I assume this is an Inventor issue, not an Upchain issue.

Hi @HansChristianFossum yes it sounds like an issue with Inventor. I only tested the codes in the title block and didn't see this issue. I guess you'll have to use the workaround.

@emily.caulfield should I duplicate this post to the Inventor forum?

[emily.caulfield]

@HansChristianFossum yes I'd ask there as well to see what they have to say about it.

@HansChristianFossum- I have the same problem in Inventor 2024. Did you find a solution?

One workaround that seems to work is to remove the table from the drawing template and manually copy/paste the working table from another drawing.

[HansChristianFossum]

Yes, a fix will be released soon.

Workaround: Create the curly codes outside of the table as ordinary text on top of the table. Not ideal, but it works.
