Naming Route Assemblies
Naming Route Assemblies
(OP)
Our company is about to go completely SolidWorks and will soon be implementing PDMWorks as well. We are tying up some loose ends and in the process decided to find a naming convention for route sub-assemblies and their components. Has anyone come up with a successful way to achieve this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For example:
Project #81553
81553-01A
81553-01P
81553-02P
81553-03P
81553-02A
81553-04P
81553-05P
81553-06P

PDM/Works has “Lifecycle” you maybe interested in.
We use revision control to let us know where a project is. E.g. A01-01 for sketches, P01-01 for prototypes, and R01-01 for released. We also use folders within the PDM Vault to store types of drawings.
Do a search in here for “numbering systems”.

Sometimes we use dash numbers to specify a certain configuration. No difference in numbering between production or prototypes, the revisions take care of that.
