Macro for Text change in extrude

Wondering if anyone knows how to access the text in sketch function
without having to edit the sketch? For eg., Link a text value to the
configuration name so that I change the config name and the text
extrude changes?. Anyone know an easy way to do this or whether it is
possible?

 

You can change the text via API. I tried this in the past and it was
quite easy, but I didn't store the code for it.

Kind regards,

I don't really see how this would be possible. Essentially you would
need an always running program that would detect when you change a
configuration name and then goes to your sketch, edits it, and updates
the text used there. Seth's method sounds like the best to me.

You could also have a macro that you run which updates the text in a
specific sketch to reflect the configuration name. That would be
pretty easy.

Just use SketchText::Text to change the text.

 

You could also have a macro that you run which updates the text in a

Macro feature would be a way to do this, if one would like to regenerate the
text on each rebuild.. You could write a macro to show user interface with
selectionbox in propertymanager. The user would select the sketch text
entity into the selectionbox and the feature would update the sketch text.

Thanks mate - Appreciate the feedback

 

I would be interested to see how easy this is as my macro understanding
is not great. Thaks for the feedback though
