When I save a part, I want the part number and the filename to be the same.
When I insert the custom iPart into my assembly, I have to tell it what the
filename is (ex. G3032-435-ab). The columns in my BOM are Item, Part
Number, Description and Qty. With a custom iPart, what will be shown in the
Part Number column is "Equal Leg Angle" (or whatever the iPart parent is
named), not the filename that I gave it.
I don't see an easy way to get everything that I want unless I have to
manually edit each part after it is created (bummer).
Any Suggestions?
