Handling SHEETN: I need to output it in 3-digit format

Hello Isodraft experts,


I'm currently dealing the SHEETN in the option file. I'm having trouble, please help.

I need to output it in 3-digit format, like XXX-001, XXX-002... XXX-011


This code won't work:

[FONT=&]-- OUTPUT ONES 3-DIGIT SHEET No.... 001 TO 009

if (SHEETN LT 9) then
TextPosition '00' X 594mm Y 79.5mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90
TextPosition SHEETN X 594mm Y 84.5mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90

-- OUTPUT TENS 3-DIGIT SHEET No.... 010 TO 099

elseif (SHEETN LT 99) then
TextPosition '0' X 594mm Y 79.5mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90
TextPosition SHEETN X 594mm Y 82mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90

-- OUTPUT HUNDREDS 3-DIGIT SHEET No.... 100 to up

else
TextPosition SHEETN X 594mm Y 79.5mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90

endif[/FONT]


I'm trying to capture SHEETN and put it in a variable like,

var !SHNO = SHEETN

and replace it in my if statements. But still won't work.


Is there any other way to solve it or correct my coding?




Thanks,
july

[COLOR=#333333]I Do not think you will be having more then 100 sheet for each Isometric

so add 100

var !SHNO = SHEETN

!SHEET = !ISHNO + 100

$!SHEET???

This is only my basic Idea,I have not tried or implemented on my own work..[/COLOR]

I agree, 100 is an exaggeration. But I do have more than 10 sheets.

I've tried that one, but

var !SHNO = SHEETN[/U] won't work.

There must be something wrong or proper coding for this???



Thank$

try var !SHNO SHEETN
ISODRAFT uses old syntax.

YKR,

Thanks, but OLD SCHEME won't work also.

I've read some post that SHEETN will work with TEXTPOSITION only?

This is 5 years ago, maybe AVEVA had already developed something on this issue???

Any updates you have on this Mr.july??

Hi Isurya,


As of now, there's no other way to do it.

I just do the other way and with CAD modifications: Put a note in PDMS like :NOTE3 '10' (lines with 10/20 sheets and more).
And option file goes like this:

[FONT=&]if (:NOTE3 EQ '10') then
TextPosition '0' X 594mm Y 79.5mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90
TextPosition SHEETN X 594mm Y 82mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90

else
TextPosition '00' X 594mm Y 79.5mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90
TextPosition SHEETN X 594mm Y 84.5mm CharHeight 3mm ang 90
[/FONT]
Then CAD modifications by adding one '0' is needed for sheets 1-9 to make it 001...009


This is an isolated issue I guess. In detail design with complete line numbers would is not a trouble.
