Creo Advanced Framework supports project-oriented profile assemblies. You can use a project shortcut to manage profiles, connectors, and equipment-element naming. The project shortcut is included by default at the beginning of all assembled components in a model. If necessary, an incremental number is added at the end of the model name. The project shortcut and incremental number act as unique component and project identifiers.

For example, if you use p1 as the project shortcut for a beam structure assembly, and then assemble two flat_bar type profiles of different lengths to the beam assembly, the profiles are automatically named p1_flat_bar_1 (the first profile) and p1_flat_bar_2 (the second profile).
