Part name incorrect in Parts List

[Anonymous]

I have an assembly with 29 components that are named 1041-1, 1041-2, 1041-3, etc. When I create my parts list, the incorrect name shows up in my table. Upon looking in iProperties, I saw the problem. The part number listed in iProperties is the part number for the part I did a Save As on to create it (I do this often because some of my parts are very close in geometry, this way I model one, then do a Save As and make modifications to create the next). Does anyone know how to change it so it doesn't do that? See the attachments for reference. Thanks for helping!

Upon further investigation I found how to change my table to show the correct value. When you right click the table, select Edit Table. Right Click on the Header for the PART NUMBER column, select Format Column. Go to Substitution, select Enable Value Substitution, in the drop box, select FILE NAME. If anyone can advise on how to get my Part Number field in iProperties to always be the same as the File Name then I would appreciate it!

Hi Joshua,

This can be done fairly easily using iLogic. Basically, you need a rule pushing the file name to part number. You can add this rule to any file.

iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")=ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extension

Run the rule on open or save.

Many thanks!
