Hello, What is the purpose of the common_name attribute in Creo on parts and drawings?  Is there anyway to turn this feature off?  I don't want to use it.

Leave it blank, you don't have to use it unless you use Windchill.

We do leave it blank. However, when we copy an assembly and assign new part numbers to some parts it automatically fills it in on the part and drawing.  Would like to turn that off.

Where does it show up on the drawing at? It will only show up IF you are using it in a table. If that is the case, edit your format and remove that field from the format.
