Part Number Update While Check in from Creo Parametric using Auto Associate

Dear Team,

We are trying to check in a CAD Model from Creo Parametric. For example, our CAD Model number format like “*****_*****_*****.PRT”, now if we click on auto associate the WTPart will be created only with initial 10 characters: “*****_*****”. We don’t want to involve any customization, want to achieve this scenario using configuration changes. Is this possible?

A lot depends on what you consider customization. There is fine line between customization and configuration in some cases. 

If it is consistent,  have you tried to modify the WTpart OIR?

<AttrValue id="number" algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.NumberGenerator">
                <Attr id="name"/>

               </AttrValue>

We are using this as of now. I want the Part number to be first 10 characters of WTPart name.

Is the Creo number automatically generated or is this something you are manually entering?  Do you want the WTPart number to match the Creo Part number or a be a different, automatically generated number?  As Ben mentioned, the object initialization rules (OIR) with each along with some Windchill preferences can be used to control how the numbering for each object type works.

Where are you expecting the WTPart to get its name from first, before it is parsed for the Number?
