Can we apply custom code using the BIDM configuration? (in Document Naming Rule)?

Solution

To assign unique document numbers and revisions,

When you save a document, Solid Edge captures the document number, the revision number, and a descriptive title. Solid Edge also checks document numbers for uniqueness before save or save as.

Define unique document numbers:

Solid Edge data management automatically generates unique document numbers when you create new files. Document numbers are assigned based on the information in the NumberGenerator.dat file located in the Solid Edge installation directory, in the Preferences folder.

Because all document numbers are incremented from the number in this file, the file must not be empty. The incremented number must only include numeric values. We recommend that you use the Document Naming Rule options on the Manage tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box) to define the increment value.

Where you store the NumberGenerator.dat file depends on your deployment scenario:

•For a single-user deployment, the NumberGenerator.dat file should be located on the local machine.

•For multiple-user deployment, the NumberGenerator.dat file should be located on a mapped or shared network drive and all users should have read and write access to it.
