Can I select particular text or string from the file name to be displayed if we create the field for File name in Microstation V8i SS3.
Suppose My File name is "Check14.dgn" & I create the File name Field inside the File and I only want to display "14" what can I do?
TIA
Hi Nischint,
please don't use blog comments to ask about not relevant issues, especially when the blog is 8 years old!
Please use MicroStation forum to discuss problems and issues.
With regards,
