Hi Guys,
I want to auto assign part number to SW documents using different serial numbers for example SW part is SW-1234, assembly is ASM-1234, drawing is DWG-1234 when I change the transition in the workflow.
Is there a way to do it? Currently, the COPY TREE command can do it but I do not want to make a copy of the SW documents but rename the existing documents.
Thanks for the help!
James,
The files are already distinguished by their extension (.sldprt, .sldasm & .slddrw).
By prefixing the files as you suggest, you will lose the automatic "Open Drawing" functionality when right-clicking a part or assy.
Hi james,
Part numbers can be assigned when you add file to the vault.but not during a state change.
To Assign a serail to assing serial numbers to Files. Add a variable to File Data cards which takes default value from a serial number.

As far as I know, Property Links Professional has this functionality (and more).
