Default Names

[dalewunderlich]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the default
part and assembly name from prt0001.prt and asm0001.asm
to something custom

thanks

Try setting this in your config.pro:


FORCE_NEW_FILE_OPTIONS YES

I know this is an old post, but I am trying to figure out something very similar. I could not get that setting above to work.


I have2 options I want to explore. either I want the names to default asblank, so the user has to type something in or I want the user to have to change the default name either right away or have them blocked from checking the part/assembly/drawing in with the default name. Any suggestions as to what to look at would be great. Thanks.

We are using Creo with Windchill 10, and when a new part is created it won't let you load the template unless you type in a custom part name. Until a name is entered, it just says "<auto generated name>" instead of prt0001.prt. Is this the kind of functionality you want?


I'm not entirely sure why it happens like this. It does revert to the prt0001.prt naming scheme i you disconnect from the server.

Yes, that is the type of functionality I am going for, but we aren't moving to Creo for while yet. Still using WF4.

Can you just check in a prt0001, prt0002, ... into PDM so they can't create a new file with the same name? Then they have to shift neurons in gear and think about what they want to call the new part.
