Help with copy design & unique file rename with vault on frame gen assys.....
Searching for the best way, or least cumbersome... I have used vault, ilogic, and design assistant. All have their plus's and minuses... maybe I'm approaching it all wrong...
Workfow:
Create assy (module), create skeletal frame, build frame (custom content center extrusions), add stand alone parts, add content center parts..
naming convention
job number_module number_part name/number
16-024_UCW 1.1_000000031
File structure
16-024 (FOLDER)
UCW_1.1(FOLDER)
16-024_UCW 1.1.IAM
16-024_UCW 1.1 SKELETON.IPT
FRAME (FOLDER)
16-024_UCW 1.1_FRAME.IAM
16-024_UCW 1.1_000000031.IPT
16-024_UCW 1.1_000000032.IPT
16-024_UCW 1.1_000000033.IPT
The problem lies at the design copy stage...
I would like to change the prefix for each additional copy to new target folder...
From
16-024_UCW 1.1_000000031
to
16-024_UCW 1.2_000000031
I'm thinking the better way is to create a base design like this:
16-024 (FOLDER)
UCW_1.1(FOLDER)
MODULE.IAM
SKELETON.IPT
FRAME (FOLDER)
FRAME.IAM
000000031.IPT
000000032.IPT
000000033.IPT
Thoughts?
