"Inherit Model File Name/Use drawing model file name" functionality for Drawings in Save As

"Inherit Model File Name/Use drawing model file name" functionality for Drawings in Save As

In Windchill and Creo 6 it is possible use auto-numbering for Parts and Assemblies but having the Drawing use the number/filename of is related model. This is achieved by the following Windchill preference and/or Creo setting:

A similar choice should be available during Save As:

That would be great!

It's normal to "save as" models together with drawings and the suggested behaviour is what the user expects,

I would consider actual result (different numbers for drawings) defective respect to a natural expectation of the save as feature result.


Thank You,

This idea is actually a must if Drawing and Model needs to have the same number. I rather would prefer another solution, so we don't need to care about any file name. I expect that in few years the filename isn't important anymore, since CAD will be managed as features in the cloud (Like CatiaV6). So I rather would like to see the flexibility in Creo. Why we can't forget the filenames and show the information of what we need? In Creo View it is possible to pull the information from attributes together. Why not from the model itself or also WTPart?

Idea: Make Creo flexible with alternate part names
