Naming and Numbering Configuration PDMLink provides a variety of methods for naming and numbering objects in ICE. NASA ESMD CAD working group must determine best fit method AutoNumber Driven (OOTB Configuration) CAD Doc and/or Part numbers generated by WC A 10 digit sequencential number OOTB Can be configured to use constants and/or attributes in number CAD Doc and Part name come from CAD file name or PTC Common Name (if used) CAD Name Driven CAD Doc and Part number comes from CAD file name CAD Doc and Part name comes from CAD file name or Common Name (if used) CAD Parameter Driven CAD Doc and/or Part numbers come from CAD parameters CAD Doc and Part name come from CAD parameters Custom © 2006 PTC

AutoNumber Driven WC Object New ProE Data Value Origin Existing ProE Data CAD Doc Number  CAD Doc Number Generator  ProE File Name (Extension can be dropped) CAD Doc Name PTC_COMMON_NAME Part Object Number Part Number Generator Part Object Name CAD Doc Name (PTC_COMMON_NAME) Number Generator enabled for CAD Doc and Part Objects Existing ProE Files generally will not have PTC_COMMON_NAME parameter CAD Doc Number and Part Number will not match PTC_COMMON_NAME can be added to existing ProE data No Object Re-Numbering Available in UI © 2006 PTC

CAD Name Driven WC Object New ProE Data Value Origin Existing ProE Data CAD Doc Number  ProE File Name (Extension can be dropped) CAD Doc Name PTC_COMMON_NAME Part Object Number CAD Doc Number Part Object Name Number Generator disabled for CAD Doc and Part Objects. This can be mixed if required. ProE File Name is CAD Doc and Part Object Number Existing ProE Files generally will not have PTC_COMMON_NAME parameter Existing ProE files will driven all object Numbers and Names with ProE file name PTC_COMMON_NAME can be added to existing ProE data Object Re-Numbering Available in UI © 2006 PTC

CAD Parameter Driven WC Object New ProE Data Value Origin Existing ProE Data CAD Doc Number  ProE Number Parameter CAD Doc Name PTC_COMMON_NAME ProE Naming Parameter Part Object Number CAD Doc Number IBA Value Part Object Name CAD Doc Name IBA Value Number Generator disabled for CAD Doc and Part Objects Configuration enables: CAD and Part Naming and Numbering as ProE parameters Configuration causes potential uniqueness errors Existence of PTC_COMMON_NAME overrides Naming Configuration Existing ProE Files generally will not have PTC_COMMON_NAME parameter CAD Doc Number and Part Number MAY not match PTC_COMMON_NAME can be added to existing ProE data This method will not work with ProE nested Family Tables Object Re-Numbering Available in UI © 2006 PTC

Custom Methods Driven The ProE Naming Service uses the Windchill service delegate mechanism to allow you to specify the following for the new CAD Document to be created: • Set a number for the CAD Document • Set a name for the CAD Document This provides the flexibility to customize CAD naming and numbers, and in turn auto created part naming and numbering. © 2006 PTC
