CAD Documents - Tips on how to only set and show File Name

$

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 Windchill 10.0 Type and Attribute Administrator to remove Number and Name from Layouts of UIs:
    • CAD Document Information Page
    • New CAD Document UI

 

  • Use Table Displays to remove Number and Name from Tabular UIs (9.1 or 10.0):
    • Workspace Listing
    • Check In
    • etc.
  • 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).
