Hello,
I'm currently implementing Windchill with Creo and I'm facing some issue with the file name, common name, name and number.
For now, I've set up creo file name=number as auto generated, the creo/Windchill name is set manually with descriptive text. Engineers are not so happy as they don't see the descriptive name in the creo windows (expect in the tree) or when they open creo file from their workspace.
Is there a way to set creo file name by concatenate the number and the common name?
Thanks
Windchill 12 / Creo 7.0.2.0
This what I wrote up for our users.
Drawing Titles
I know there have been questions on what to name a file when creating one in Creo or renaming in Windchill, if named wrong when created in Creo. Here are some guidelines so you all understand how the file naming goes and which Creo names get mapped to which Windchill names. Even us using Windchill for 10+ years have always questioned why the different terminology and have asked PTC to change it.
Here is an overview of what goes where:
With that, now comes the question of HOW to name a file. We have stated that one of the industry standards we follow is ASME Y14.100. Section 5 (page 9) deals with Drawing Titles. There is also a reference to Appendix C for constructing Drawing Titles. Also read Section 4.26 for drawing notes and terminology.
Thanks for your answer. Is there a way to have the file name updated when uploaded to windchill with the combination of the number and the name? To identify quickly on which drawing we are working.
Or is there a way to replace the file name in creo tree and in creo windows name (on the top) with the name? I've already added an additional column in creo tree with the common name but it's taking some place.
For the file>Open (workspace) issue...
Thanks but that was not my question.
I know it was not your question, but sometimes resisting customizing by finding unique solutions to problems will help you in the long run.
The issue is about navigating in Creo not in Windchill (tree, windows name...). Creating a new view in Windchill, will not help it.
You could always put an annotation in the model flat to screen that displays an attribute that is descriptive. (I would write a mapkey).
