Is there a way to stop wtparts being created by auto-associate based on name of the CAD document?

[DavidBrand]

When we create designs of plastic injection moulded parts we model it as an assembly which contains the actual plastic part plus any inserts and/or paint with a naming convention similar to the image below

Using the example above, auto-associate creates wtparts for MP123456.asm, MP123456_moulding.prt and the BP parts. We don't really need the wtpart for MP123456_moulding.prt. Is there a way to stop auto-associate from creating this wtpart using, for example the fact the number (mp123456_moulding.prt) contains an underscore or could an attribute be used to tell auto-associate not to create the wtpart?

Thanks in advance.

David.

Hi David,

Not sure about basing it on the CAD Doc name but you can base it a CAD Doc attribute. See the Part Structure Override Attribute Name preference for more info.
