Identifying the Current Naming and Numbering Policy (Creo Elements/Direct Drafting)
The algorithm used to understand which policy is currently set in the system (for a particular context and class of object) is as follows:
• If auto-numbering is set in object initialization rules, then the policy is auto-numbering.
• If custom behavior is implemented in rules, then the policy is custom.
• If neither auto-numbering nor custom behavior is set and the parameter-driven properties are set in Preference Management, then the policy is parameter-driven. Otherwise, the policy is name-driven. This is set in the Object Initialization Rules accessed in > > .
• If neither auto-numbering or custom behavior is set and the parameter-driven properties are set in Preference Management, then policy is parameter-driven.
• If number is not set by either auto-numbering or parameters, then numbering is name-driven.
