ProE Library Parts

[mpeterson]

Hello ProUsers,

We are about to start using WF5 and the fastener Library Parts that can be downloaded in Pro using 3D Model Space. Does anyone have an easy way to change the name of the instances in these family table of parts? We would prefer the instance name be something more recognizable like "shcp05x10" for a Schoulder Head Cap Screw that is .5" dia by 1" longinstead of some letters and numbers like "csdd153" which is a sample of one instance in the Socket Head Cap Screw part downloaded. If there isn't an "easy way" to change the instance name how arepeople handling this for those who like to have parts named to something that indicated what type of part it is? Thanks!

A mass edit would be nice, but in the event that it is not possible,
please be aware that you can select your parts by parameter value instead
of part name. That helps with selection.
We have some of our home made library parts named by catalogue numbers.
In this case, o-rings.


Selection by parameter is then helpful.

About the quickest way I've found (which isn't that much quicker) is to edit the FT in Excel. These are nested however, so it doesn't speed it up much.
