i have design my title block in .idw, when I click on the save button it doesn't automatically paste the part number as a default file name. I also want to customize the default name like <Part No.>_<Material>_<Thickness>_<Comment>. (for Ex. "PART101_SS304_10.0_COM3)

Hi

Make sure you've used the right text boxes in your title block design.
Open a standard title block and compare its construction with your project.

I believe that the default Inventor behavior is to make the drawing filename match the filename of the 1st model placed in that drawing.

 

Is that the behavior that you are seeing?

 

If so, you might consider renaming your 3d model before you start creating your 2d prints.

 

Another possibility would be writing some iLogic to create your own rename-and-save command.  This post may offer some help. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ilogic-and-vb-net-forum/ilogic-to-set-initial-filename-on-fi...
