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?
