Hey you all Is there anyway to make or change the common name after you made the PRT and while you make the DRW. For the moment I cant find anyway.

I have made the part and the drawing without knowing its Stocknumber now I want to rename the common name not the partname. I hope I made it more clear to everyone.

You can actually do this in drawing mode. On the menu bar for the tree, Click Show > Model Tree if it is not already selected. Next, select Settings > Tree Columns. In the Model Tree Columns Window, select Type > Model Parameters in the pulldown. Type PTC_COMMON_NAME in the "Name" field, and add it to the "Displayed" Area with the "add" button. Now each part in an assembly will have its associated common name in a column next to the part name. Just click on the common name and edit as needed.

Hey again I do not find what you are proposing. I use Pro-E Wildfire 5. Does that make any difference or should I try once more or perhaps I did not understand to well what you ment.
