Project Code substitution generates incorrect filename

Following an upgrade to Impact 2022 (v12.x), the export substitution code %<ProjectCode> no longer generates the expected result.


Symptoms

The exported filename will contain the substitution code itself, as opposed to the expected Project Code.


As an example, the following Export setting Filename configuration:


                   Filename/pathname option in the General Export node of an Export setting


when exporting the following project:


           Impact Title Bar showing Product, Version, User, Project Name, Project Code, Drawing Type and View


would generate the following file:


                               Export dialog showing incorrect export filename


Cause

This is due to a software bug which had been addressed in later Impact versions.  


Solution

To work around this issue, replace the substitution code %<ProjectCode> with %<[DRAWINGS.D_CODENUM]> in all affected Master Tool Settings, as shown:



                           Filename/pathname option with suggested work-around


which would generate the expected file name:


                                 Export dialog showing correct export filename
