Question

Creo 3.0 not naming drawing with active model name

I am using Creo Parametric 3.0 M150

When making a new drawing and using the default template the new drawing does not name the drawing the same name as the active model. This has been working since we have installed but now has stopped working. Could this be a result of folder redirection or some security or network configuration? I have checked other users installs and they also behave like this. We are using Creo3 M150 and Windchill 10.2

Here are the errors that I faced
None

The ability to create drawing with the same name as drawing model has been introduced by PTC in Creo 6.0. If you were using such functionality in Creo 3.0, it most likely was some custom solution (probably done with some mapkey, AutoIt script or custom code).
Since it's probably custom solution, it's hard to tell what is failing without knowing what method has been used to copy model name as the drawing name.

Are you positive of this? I am going to look at pro-program and the drawing program next.
I find this interesting.

Pretty much sure. I remember that the ability to copy model name as drawing name was a long standing request for PTC and it was finally added in Creo 6.0, if memory serves me right.

There were some workarounds for it, like mapkeys or AutoIT scripts shared here by various users, but Creo 3.0 natively didn't copy model name to drawing name.
