I'm looking for a way to show the entire file path along the edge of my sheet borders in Microstation V8i (08.11.09.578) & PW SS4 Client (08.11.11.559). We are working with another firm who is hosting the PW environment.
Previously we just used our pen table with text substitution using the Windows variable $FILE$. This does not work with files residing in PW. We get the temporary path on our local drives. I would like to be able to show the PW path.
Is this something that can be done on the client side and, if so, how would one accomplish this task? I found one other post about linking a PW attribute but, I do not know what that is.
Thanks,
Mike
Mike,
_FILEL_ should print the PW path and file name when in PW mode.

Unknown said:Thanks for the reply Todd. I was going to say we already have it defined that what but, then I noticed the L at the end. I just did a sample and it works. Thank you for the help. I thought it was going to be much harder than that!
the L means long name ie include the file path...
BTW I think S means short or brief ie just file name, dont quite remember if thats right as I only use the long version
