Renaming filenames, remove leading characters

This superuse post describes how a set of forward slashes (/) can be used to delete leading characters (except .) from a file name. One slash is required for each character to be deleted. I've confirmed the behavior on a Windows 10 machine.

ren "abc-*.txt" "////*.txt"
  abc-123.txt        --> 123.txt
  abc-HelloWorld.txt --> HelloWorld.txt


 ren "????*.*" "////*.*"

Solidworks Superscript or Subscript in Dimension Text

In a regular annotation note, create a stack that looks the way you like.  It will take a couple of trial and error attempts since there's no preview.  Once you have the look you seek, RMB on the note (without double-clicking) and then choose Edit Text in Window.  Copy the raw entry from <STACK> to </STACK> and cancel.  Edit your dimension and paste this into the Dimension Text edit field. 


Example: <STACK size=0.6 divider=no>a<OVER></STACK>
