Use Dispatch to Create More Versatile Serial Numbers

[@perritanegra]

Never would have imagined you’d need to reset the complete power plant in order to just choose a different channel on the radio. Great job, Lindsay!

Thank you so much for this presentation! I was able to create my first working Dispatch using your guide, and even modify it to do exactly what I needed.

Hello, Thank you for this super helpful video. A question: Is there a away with the dispatcher to rename the related drawing file with the SolidWorks file? Thank you

[@rodneylaw8576]

Love the concept, how would you make the script rename the file instead of setting the variables?

Thank you for a very useful presentation! One Question: In PDM serial numbers you can set the "Counter value" 1, 01, 001, 0001 etc. Is there any easy way to change it to e.g. 001 instead of 1? Maybe I can set it to 1001 and then remove the first "1" with "String Functions"? I will try.

Did you get this to work?

@@frankmusick2017 I know this comment is super old but I was able to to exactly this with the "right" function. Essentially if you want your serial number to read 00001, you need to set your actual serial number value to 100001, then use the right function to isolate the all of the digits aside from the first 1. Hope that helps.
