Summary


Details

In the following scenario:
(1) File→New→Item command 
(2) when an item revision with no NX dataset is created in Teamcenter and opened in NX


How to set the default naming pattern for initially creating a UGPART or UGALTREP dataset?

Solution

Use the following Teamcenter preferences to set the default naming pattern for the UGPART and UGALTREP datasets:


TC_NX_UGPART_create_pattern
set to: ${ItemID}-${RevisionID}-dwg{1:1}


TC_NX_UGALTREP_create_pattern
set to: ${ItemID}-${RevisionID}-alt{1:1}


The 1:1 is incremental numbering for the version. The first 1 is the start number. The second 1 is the number of digits to display with zeros in front as needed. For example, 3 would display as 001.


These preferences provide a default naming pattern only; user can ignore the default naming pattern and manually enter any value for the dataset name.

Notes and References

The following customer defaults are removed and replaced by these Teamcenter preferences:
Automatic Names for New Parts > File Name Separator
Automatic Names for Non-masterParts > Drafting Parts
