Hi!

Im using the Smartstream Designer Imposition to load different business cards and choosing template based on the width and height of Trim box. The problem is that I can't match them depending on the "." that isn't supported in template name or that I can't skip "Precision" when having the Trim box sizes...



I have done this so far:

[Switch.Calculation:Expression="[Stats.TrimBoxWidth]/72*25.4",Precision="1"]x[Switch.Calculation:Expression="[Stats.TrimBoxHeight]/72*25.4",Precision="1"][Job.Hierarchy:Segment=7,10]



The last part tells me what folder it landed in and is used to match current template.



The problem is following:

- When using the Precision it gives me one decimal at least - there is no way of skipping decimals att all?

- If I go on the code above i can create the name of the template - but since there is "." it can't match because the template name cuts off from first ".".

So a template named "55.0x85.0_4_4.impp" will be seen as "55".



Anyone know how to do this?

The flow look like this:

Precision is indeed limited to 1, you cannot use 0.



Not the most intuitive solution, but one without a script expression: put the calculation in "Attach job state" on a folder where the PDF passes. [Job.JobState] will contain 55.0x85.0. In the single-line text with variable where you refer to the template, you use [Job.JobState], Before . to get the first value, and [Job.JobState], After x Before . to get the second value.



I regularly "abuse" job state to put information in that I need later on and/or that require further massaging. You can consider it as a kind of private data, but without requiring scripting to set it.
