%{PropertyText/xx/xx/xx}

In addition, the /ST format code may be used to specify superscript and subscript formatting for plain text.

Precision

Where integer n specifies precision format for a property text value that starts with a number.

%{%HS/@2}

12,12

/du

Dual units

/ST±upper^±lower

/st±.001^±.002

Text height is defined by the active dimension style.

Example:

/ST used to define stack tolerance value.

Stack tolerance, upper and/or lower.

The ^ separates upper tolerance±.001 from lower tolerance ±.002.

When ^ is not specified→upper tolerance only.

Upper tolerance only
%[%HS/ST+.02}

Lower tolerance only
%{%HS/ST^.02}

Upper and lower tolerance
%{%HS/ST+.02^-.03}

/LT±upper^±lower

/lt±.001^±.002

Text height is defined by the active dimension style.

Limit tolerance, upper and/or lower.

The ^ separates the upper limit ±.001 from the lower limit ±.002.

Lower limit only
%DI %{%HS/LT^-.25}. Nominal HS=5.28

Upper and lower limit
%DI %{%HS/LT+.05^+.01} Nominal HS=12.12

Limit tolerance with precision
%DI %{%HS/@4/LT+.05^+.01}. Nominal HS=12.123245

/TCn

where n designates a predefined capitalization format.

Property text string format.

TC1→UPPERCASE

TC2→lowercase

TC3→Sentence case

TC4→Title Case

UPPERCASE

%{File name/TC1}
