Adding strings together to form new strings using "+"
Use the "+" symbol to add strings together to form new strings.
For example if you wanted to add a colour to another string to give a pre-laminated material that is stored in your board library.
=Red+MDF would give RedMDF
If you need to include spaces these need to be enclosed by ""
=Red+" MDF" would give Red MDF
If used in the cutting list rules you can add values from the fields with other strings to fill out information boxes for example with the String radio button selected you can enter the following in the formula expression dialog
=[Part code]+_NO_OPT
The evaluated answer cannot be displayed in this dialog due to a field being used but the following formula is entered when the dialog is dismissed via OK
=STR([Part code]+_NO_OPT)
If the part code was DRAWER then the formula above would evaluate to DRAWER_NO_OPT
