NX6 Assembly Latest Component File Loading

[jettson]

Our company is using NX6.0.0.24
We are currently naming our model files with Alpha Numeric numbers and then an underscore with the 2 digit revision following. ex. BG123456_02. The problem we are having is that model file is copied to the name of the next revision (BG123456_03). The old model file is saved in an archive directory and then the _03 file is modified and saved in the working directory.

When we open an assembly file that had the _02 file as a component it is not found and then the _02 part must be replaced with the _03 file to make the assembly up to date.

In the customer defaults / assemblies / site standards we have the part file name format and the part file name match path noted as
([a-z_0-9]+_[a-z])([0-9][0-9]) with the version independent section set at \1 and the version type as Alphanumeric.

These are actually 2 totally different files (am I correct?)

Are there any changes that can done to have the assembly load the newer file?

Thank you

What assembly load options are you using? "As saved" won't work if you want to automatically load the latest revision. I think only the "search folders" option will work with part revisions; and you'll have to define your search folders, of course. You'll probably also have to set the Load Behavior -> Allow replacement option.

Side note, you may not have control of upgrading to a newer version of NX; but you should at least install the latest MR for NX 6 (NX 6.0.5.x).

We are using Allow Replacement on the load behavior.
Believe me we do want to upgrade to any newer version of NX. But we have an IT dept that won't load newer versions and OF COURSE won't let engineering upgrade on our own.

Based on the part number sample given, I think the regex you want is:
([a-z0-9]+)_([0-9][0-9])

with \1 being the version independent part, \2 is the revision.
