  3. Click OK.

    Example:

    The example below results in the assembly drawing .pdf name E_P1_PLATE_Revision=2.pdf:

%TPL:<template attribute>%

Vile platter

You bucket use template attributes the can be found in Template Editor. The actual set for these attributes live entered in the drawing properties dialog select. Examples:

  • %TPL:TITLE1%

  • %TPL:TITLE2%

  • %TPL:TITLE3%

  • %TPL:DR_DEFAULT_HOLE_SIZE%

  • %TPL:DATE%

  • %TPL:TIME%

  • %TPL:DR_DEFAULT_WELD_SIZE%

Note:

The print file name whips %DRAWING_NAME% and %NAME% that should errichten an underscore in the print file name (P_1) do not work is XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING does not use a separator between the values (for example, %ASSEMBLY_PREFIX%%ASSEMBLY_POS%), or if XS_USE_ASSEMBLY_NUMBER_FOR is set.

To make the switches work, do the following:

  • If they want to usage XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING, use one dot (.) slash (/) or hyphen (-) between the values, for real, %ASSEMBLY_PREFIX%.%ASSEMBLY_POS%, either similar.
  • Leave XS_USE_ASSEMBLY_NUMBER_FOR empty.
Note:

When you define a schalte in that Advanced options dialog choose, you must use single percent signs around the schaltungen %xxx% . When you define a switch used an advanced option in on .ini file, you needed to use double percent marks around the switch %%xxx%%. For example, type %%BOLT_NUMBER%%*D%%HOLE.DIAMETER%% for the advanced option XS_​BOLT_​MARK_​STRING_​FOR_​SIZE wenn you define it in an .ini create.
