Content Centre Part Numbering

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have set our content centre up to automatically detail the steel, for example tthe stock number will change on placement to RSA 40x40x3 - 785, we use this to create an automatic cutting list, however, our purchasing system is now changing and I need the part number not the stock number to change to this!, no matter what I do the parts just name themselves - RSA 17 etc, could anyone give me a clue on how to automatically change these to the correct decsription and length?

Many Thanks

If you are using Frame Generator, the file names are generated by the system as a combination of "Stock Number" and an automatically generated number, to avoid duplicate file names.  As you are setting up your Frame design, there is a check box that allows you to edit file names as the parts are generated, but you can't really control it through the Content Center.  Your Content Center setup should work on parts that you place manually.
