The naming rule for the CAD file name is very meaningful in the ERP functionality.
The naming rule is defined in PARTlinkManager in the Extras menu -> Configure ERP environment -> tabbed page Standard name (rule).
![]() | Note |
|---|---|
The Standard name tabbed page can also be found in the PARTadmin module. There a role-specific naming rule can be defined which is not really reasonable! | |
A very useful rule is the following:
IF ('$ERP_PDM_NUMBER.'.EQ.'')THEN
NB = '$NB.'
ELSE
NB = '$ERP_PDM_NUMBER._$NB'
ENDIF
In case no ERP_PDM_NUMBER exists the standard NB is used, otherwise the ERP_PDM_NUMBER + NB.
Via the ERP_PDM_NUMBER uniqueness is guaranteed, the standard description provides a meaningful part in the file name.
The standard description is shown in the title of the 3-D display in the PARTdataManager.
To define the Standard name and thus the CAD file name you can use IF conditions, Fortran syntax, constants and ERP variables (launch with '$Variablenname.') to create names:
|
(both conditions - right and left of .AND. - must be filled) | |
|
(one of both conditions - right and/or left of .OR. - must be filled) | |
