Windchill Preferences for Naming and Numbering (Creo Elements/Direct Drafting)
The following preferences control parameter-driven Naming and Numbering policy when using Windchill Workgroup Manager. By default, these properties have no value:
• AutoAssociate Naming Parameter = <String Parameter>
• AutoAssociate Numbering Parameter = <String Parameter>
When set to Yes (default is No), the following properties omit the file extensions from name and number attributes when creating parts using Auto Associate Parts (such as .mi, and so on):
• AutoAssociate Truncate Name File Extension
• AutoAssociate Truncate Number File Extension
When set to Yes (default is No), the following properties omit file extensions from name and number attributes for new CAD documents during upload:
• Upload Drop Name File Extension
• Upload Drop Number File Extension
The Upload Drop Number File Extension preference allows file extensions to be added to the CAD Document Number.
• When the preference is set to No, the file extension is added to the Number (the default is No). When the preference is set to Yes, the number of the document is generated by dropping the extension in the filename. This preference can be found in the Preference Management utility at > > >
• In addition, the drawing file Name and Number now conform to the preference Synchronize Number and File Name as CAD parts and assemblies presently do (the preference default is Yes).
