Default Dataset Names In NX6
Default Dataset Names In NX6
(OP)
I have been defining some configuration for NX6.
When I create a drawing 'Non-master' part, I always get a numerical appendix to my user define appendix. e.g. XXXXXX_DWG1 when I want XXXXXX_DWG
Is it possible to turn this numerical appendix function off?
Cheers in advance,

I understand the reasoning behind what Siemens have done, but feel that naming conventions are the preserve of the customer, as many customers have very strict naming conventions, which down stream processes are dependent upon.
I strongly feel that hard coding configuration such as this does not help all of your customers (I'm guessing a customer requested this, and Siemens helpfully obliged).
These sorts of issues must be customer configurable in the DPV file, as it costs the customer money to manage these issues such as 'custom code, what to do with legacy data etc, change of default behaviour mid project, altering downstream process to be tolerant of change etc etc'
Have a guess what ER I'm going to submit in the new year :)
In the mean time, thank you (and everyone on the forum) for your support over the year & seasons greetings to all.
