how to add"ptc_common_name" parameter

Just do File -> Rename -> In Session


The second line is the value of the parameter PTC_COMMON_NAME (in Wildfire 3.0 they have removed access to this parameter from the parameters list).
 
If the file has already been saved in Intralink then PTC_COMMON_NAME will be greyed out. Rename in INtralink (8X onwards) or if you want to do it in Pro/E: Rename the actual file first in session only. Do not save. Rename it back and as you are doing so the COMMON_NAME can then then entered.

we are still using Intralink3.4
 
In WF2, Tools >> Parameter >> Assembly ( or Part if your
wanting to change a parts Common name) >> Modify >>
PTC_Common_Name
 
WF4 adding PTC_Common_Name does't work


We just now converted to WF4 (M150) my personal config file mapkeys from WF2 no longer work and even worse the method of adding the PTC_Common_Name by Renaming doesn't work either.


Is this a WF4 enhancement or do I have to jump through more hoops to get this functionality back ?
