PDMWorks Attribute in Part File Name

[jdesouza]

Hello,

Does anyone know a way to have one of the PDMWorks check-in attribute labels (e.g. the description)appear in the file name?

Specifically, I would like to see in my assembly tree not just the part number that the file is named, but the description field from PDM Works.

Example:
File Name Description
62206-164, Adapter

I am not aware of a way to incorporate file parameters directly into the filename. However, you can easily display both the filename and description in your SolidWorks BOM or a PDMWorks report.

If you click on "Select Labels" icon (next to the refresh button) you can select any or all of the following to be displayed in the PDM tree:
Document Name
Revision
Number
Status
Description
Owner

Selecting document name and description should show what you want.
