Are you setting CAD Document Number, Name and File Name all to the same value?
Let's use this discussion forum to document your techniques to simplify this for the user.
I am including a proposal below.
PROPOSAL 1:
- File Name is NOT generated (since deliverables, flexible components, etc.) usually use some part of Part number/name. For example spring.prt, spring.drw, spring.mfg, spring_expanded.prt, etc.
- Keep all other identifiers driven by File Name (9.1 or 10.0)
- Use OIRs to drive Number and Name from File name (see attached)
- Use server-side preferences to prevent File Name from being driven by Name or Number in New CAD Document, Save As and Rename
- Use OIRs to drive Number and Name from File name (see attached)
- Use Windchill 10.0 Type and Attribute Administrator to remove Number and Name from Layouts of UIs:
- CAD Document Information Page
- New CAD Document UI
- CAD Document Information Page
- Use Table Displays to remove Number and Name from Tabular UIs (9.1 or 10.0):
- Workspace Listing
- Check In
- etc.
- Workspace Listing
- Users can continue to refine tables using Windchill 10.0 Table Controls to hide unwanted columns:
- Users can click on the column headers, choose the black down arrow, "Columns"
- User can show/hide any currently shown columns this way. The current display will be "sticky" until s/he changes it again (even after closing the browser and restarting a new session).
- Users can click on the column headers, choose the black down arrow, "Columns"
