Macro for Text change in extrude

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,

Man, that would be awesome if there was a way to link the text like that. I have always wanted to be able to do that as well.

However what I do now is to simply have multiple extruded text features with manually entered text, and suppress/unsuppress the appropriate features in each config. It sucks. But that all I have ever been able to come up with.

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.

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.
