On save, I don't want the File Name to auto-populate the PART NUMBER iProperty.

This has to be a setting somewhere. A radio button or something. I use the part number iproperty in my parts list, but not in the way Inventor wants me to. I'm not going to create a custom iproperty with the same/similar name to avoid confusion. What is my best solution?

 

For reference, I work in a machine shop and use customers' part numbers, McMaster part numbers, and sometimes generate our own- for parts lists in drawings. File names are usually part descriptions with or without part numbers. They are rarely ever the same. The file name is more often than not what I use for the "title" iproperty, which is also in my parts lists. Heck, If I could just set Inventor to auto-populate TITLE instead of PART NUMBER with the file name, I'd be a happy camper.
