AfterEDRloader - use the CAd Doc Number instead of name to generate additional file name

[jbailey]

Is there a way to use AfterEDRLoader to pull the number of the cad doc for the additional file instead of the name field?

See this article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS252900

So would I use epmdoc_number?

[Vincent-Kulak]

Yes

[jbailey]

So in that article it showed the parameter was epmdoc_number... when it is in fact epmdoc_Number .... gotta love java.  The entire problem was because of a capital letter that I couldn't find the proper syntax 🙂

Hi Guys, 

I also tried the same article - CS252900 but not working for me still pdf file name is coming like filename_drw. 

Do I have to consider any other stuff also?

Have you modified your publishing rules to specify the number?

Something like this

HI, 

As of now, I am generating pdf from the recipe, not from the publishing rule, do I have to switch to the publishing rule.

if yes I hope it should not impact on pdf quality right?

Thanks

So its a PDF representation, not HPGL?

As far as I know, the AfterEDRloader only controls how the "Additional Files" are identified.  The publishing rules are going to say what "extra" files are being published - including PDF's 

When you right click on the representation in the annotation view, are there any "Additional Files" ?
