Hi out there

Is there a way to change the common name of a part.

A part with me has in the asm tabel a number and a common name.

I can change the number by opening the part and rename it, the common name can I not rename that way.

Anyone knows the answer?

Regards

Chris

Ok, so you just have the Pro/E files stored on server drives. In theory that should make changing the common name easy.

But, I take it when you have Pro/E open and you open the part and go File -> Rename you do not get the option to change the common name, like this:

Do you have your parts in the Windows files system on storage drives or in a PDM system?

Hellow Paul

I can only see the number in the windows files system on a server storage drive.

There is no PDM system that I know. Is that a system that gives numbers automaticaly?

If it is we do not have that, I am the only one here who works as designer and on Pro-e.

For the magasin we have another numbering system that is not connected with pro-e in any way.

Hope this helps you to give an answer.

Regards

Chris

Chris,

you can also change Common Name using the following procedure.

1.] Create the temporary relation in the part (which you want to rename)

PTC_COMMON_NAME="new common name"

2.] Regenerate part

3.] Remove temporary relation (created in 1.])

4.] Rename part (you will see new common name in Rename dialog)
