[Creo 3.0] AFX - change default profile names for all assembly

Hi,

I'm using Creo Parametric 3.0 with basic AFX licension right now. In my project need numerical names for all profiles (e.g.: J900-000-01, J900-000-02, J900-000-03, etc... inside the assembly). I noticed that Creo automatically increments newly created profiles by giving them my-prefix_profile-type-name_auto-increment-number name (e.g.: J900-000_PROFILE_45X90_1). the only thing I need is to remove the _PROFILE_45X90_ suffix which Creo adds automatically. I tried to find it out but even inside Project Parameters I didn't found the option which could be helpfull. 

Do you know how can I achieve that? 
Thank you in advance for all replies!

    Hi, Sam,

    Huge thanks for your reply! That's exactly what I was looking for. I've got created this element_name.txt file but I've no idea how to load it into specific Creo project. I ain't found no info about this in manual inside AFX tab. Also tried to find some global or AFX option in Creo which would be responsible for it but cannot see such the option. Do you know how to load this file so that it could works with particular project (or maybe even globally)?

    Hi @cadbart ,

     

    you just place the file into creo_install/common files/afx/parts/ and then into the folders that should use it.

     

    For example if you place it in profiles then all profiles will from now on have that modelnames.txt configuration applied.

     

    Repeat the process for all folders if you want to use the same scheme for all new AFX models.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Greetings Sam
