Auto-created drw common name equale to that of part/asm

Hello,

when in my Parametric I create a new part/assembly, thanks to a config option I also have its drawing automatically created.

The problem I have when I do the Save & Upload, is that the drawing takes its filename and number equal to those of the related part/assembly, but not the common name. So that I always have to go and rename it doing a copy paste of the common name.

For example, you can see here in this video below (also attached to the post) that the common name of the drawing (in Windchill corresponds to the field "name") is equal by default to its filename, both when I do the simple "Save", and when I do the "Save & Upload":

How could I put it automatically equal to the common name of the part (that is "test_commonname" in this case)?

Thanks

Bye

You can use the Naming parameter

Use the drawing program for mapping parameter from a model to a drawing

Hi Sergey,

perfect, it works, thanks!!

I realized also, to add to your solution, that the parameter (CREO_NAME) needs to be defined as a global attribute. Cause I tried also with another parameter just inserted in the Naming Parameter field and it case doesn't work.

Furthermore, on the right of my Naming Parameter field I find a the symbol of a lock...what does it stand for? (The field is still editable also with the lock).

Naming parameter does not to be defined as a global attribute only needs to be designated in Creo.

I need to see your file to understand that with a parameter.

Hi, I am wondering what config.pro setting allows you to automatically generate a drawing with the same name as the part model?

Or is this a Windchill functionality?

Hi Paul,

yes, it is a Windchill functionality as far as I know. But I don't exclude you can achieve it also in the stand-alone mode. As soon as I have a bit of time I will give a try and let you know.
