Windchill Preferences for Naming and Numbering
The preferences for parameter-driven naming and numbering policy in the WindchillPreference Management utility are the following for auto-associate:
Operation > Auto Associate > Auto Associate Numbering Parameter = <some string parameter>
Operation > Auto Associate > Auto Associate Naming Parameter = <some string parameter>
* 
Creo Parametric parameters are passed to Windchill in all uppercase characters. The string value must match the name as seen in Creo Parametric for the designated parameter.
The following preferences specify parameter-driven naming and numbering during upload:
Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Numbering Parameter = <some string parameter>
Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Naming Parameter = <some string parameter>
* 
By default, none of these four preferences has a value.
* 
The preference Numbering Parameter cannot be used with family table parts that have more than one level of nested instances (upload fails with a uniqueness exception). When Numbering Parameter is used with family table parts that have only one level of instances, values of this parameter need to be different for each instance. You can do this by adding this parameter as a family table column and providing a different number value for each instance.
When set to "Yes" (default is "No"), the following preferences specify dropping the file extensions (such as, ".prt" or ".asm") when naming and numbering new objects during an auto-associate action:
Operation > Auto Associate > Auto Associate Truncate Name File Extension
Operation > Auto Associate > Auto Associate Truncate Number File Extension
When set to "Yes" (default is "No"), the following preferences specify dropping file extensions during upload:
Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Upload Drop Name File Extension
Operation > Upload Operation > Upload > Upload Drop Number File Extension
