[lkirit2000]

Hi Team,

I have a fastener saved in the file name calleded Tr 20 x 4 x 190 mm long. But when I opened in inventor it shows AS 1111 Metric M12 X 160.

Thanks

1. Slow double click the name to enter rename mode. 
2. Press delete to delete all text.
3. Press enter. 
4. It should go back to file name

James,

Well . What a magic. What is the root cause for this ?

Thanks

For some reason Autodesk decided that we want the name in the assembly browser to stay the same when a part is replaced.

My wish is that someday they will explain exactly what they were thinking with sooo many decisions like this one.

In the family table, whatever that column is that is giving that name, if you check the column properties, I bet it is set to "Member Display Name".

If not, then I believe the default naming structure is <Standard><Stock Number><unique> or something along those lines.

You can check what fields are being used by placing a default ANSI fastener and read what the browser name is placed. When you create custom is seems we have to force the member display name, but then it kills us if we have to place as custom because all these fields we "force" are then not overwritten by the "Custom" option. Which I get because it wouldn't know what to change. I just wish that custom would force the browser name to be file name at that point.
