Example for File and Folder Naming
Project: IMO Machine
Drawings are to be created for a spare parts catalog and illustrations for operating instructions. The 3D source files contain machine assemblies (BG).
Spare Parts Catalog (26 Assembly Drawings with 63 Drawings)
File type
File name
Folder name
Source file from the CAD system(3D IGES-format CAD file)
IMO_BGNXX.X.igs
Example: IMO_BGN19.2.igs
(Assembly N19, version 2 for IMO machine)
IMO\IMO_IGES
3D .idr file
(Reference file for creating drawings and illustrations, only converted, no editing, saved in Arbortext IsoDraw format)
IMO_BGNXX.X_3D0.idr
Example: IMO_BGN19.2_3D0.idr
(Assembly N19, version 2 for IMO machine as a 3D .idr file)
IMO\IMO_IDR_3D0
3D .idr file
(Drawing after editing, source file for 2D drawing, saved in Arbortext IsoDraw format)
IMO_BGNXX.X_3DE_XX.idr
Example: IMO_BGN19.2_3DE_01.idr
(Assembly N19, version 2 for IMO machine as 3D file with editing for drawing. The ending 01 stands for the consecutive number of the drawing within the assembly.)
IMO\IMO_IDR_3D_EK
Option: Subfolder for assemblies
2D .idr file
(Completed 2D drawing from 3D .idr file. Saved in Arbortext IsoDraw format.)
IMO_BGNXX.X_2DE_XX.idr
(Drawings as 2D files, named 2D instead of 3D to differentiate.)
IMO\IMO_IDR_2D_EK
Option: Subfolder for assemblies
2D .cgmfile
(Exported 2D .idr file to create the catalog, saved in CGM format.)
IMO_BGNXX.X_2DE_XX.cgm
(Drawings as 2D files. Name like 2D .idr file.)
Name\IMO_CGM_2D_EK
Note: The folder should be located as a subfolder for the catalog files.
Operating Instructions (26 Assembly Drawings for 120 Graphics)
The files in the IMO\IMO_IGES and IMO\IMO_IDR_3D0 folders are also needed here.
File type
File name
Folder name
3D .idr file
(Graphic after editing, source file for 2D illustration)
IMO_BGNXX.X_3DI_XXX.idr
Example: IMO_BGN19.2_3DI_XXX.idr
(Assembly N19, version 2 for IMO machine as 3D file(s) with editing for illustration. The ending 011 stands for the consecutive number of the illustration within the operating instructions.)
IMO\IMO_IDR_3D_BA
2D .idr file
(Completed 2D illustration)
IMO_BGNXX.X_2DI_XXX.idr
(Illustration as 2D file(s), named 2D instead of 3D to differentiate.)
IMO\IMO_IDR_2D_BA
2D .cgm file
(Exported 2D .idr file. File to create the operating instructions, saved in CGM format.)
IMO_BGNXX.X_2DI_XXX.cgm
(Illustration as 2D file(s). Name like 2D .idr file.)
Name\IMO_CGM_2D_BA
Note: The folder should be located as a subfolder in the folder containing the files for the operating instructions.
