I am trying to automate a sheet tag with a Diesel expression in AutoCad.
This gets me the twelfth character in the drawing name. But as soon as I get to sheet 10 this will say its sheet 0.
$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),12,1)
Does anyone know a way to get an If statement to see if the eleventh character is a 0 then run the above code else run $(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,2)
This is something i have tried.
$(IF,substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,1)="0"$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,2,substr,$(getvar,dwgname),12,1)
This appears to be similar to excel formulas. Thanks for any help.
Here is the Diesel expression i got working for auto sheet no. in autocad fields.
$(if,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,1)"0",$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,2),$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),12,1))
$(if,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,1)"0" = Does character 11 = 0
,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,2) = if no then take character 11 and the next char.
,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),12,1)) = if char 11 is = to 0 then take only char 11.
I use two fields in my autocad border. One for the filename without the sheet no and this one for only the sheet number.
Example filename: A150225_S001.dwg
$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),1, 7) = Use char from position 1 to 7. "A150225"
$(if,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,1)"0",$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),11,2),$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),12,1)) = Use sheet no. at end of filename string. "1"
Hope this helps anyone looking to do something similar.
