save files with part number and description

With the intention of better ordering the inventor files (.ipt, .idw, etc.) I need to know if it is possible that when including the part information, that is, the part number and the description, it can be done a rule so that the part has as name the combination of these two properties, part number first and description later. example: "013.050.021" this is the part number; and the description is "clamping flange". what is needed is that the part be saved "013.050.021 clamping flange".
In this way we can organize the information more easily depending on the part number.
thank you

you need it before the first save of the component, correct?
Do you have files filled in with the Part Number and the description already before, because this is of course relevant for filling in the file name.
With the post-events in the Inventor Part environment you can than via on populate metadata the file name filled in and generated.
If you do it after save and use in assemblies you need to do a rename which is more complex.
Let me know how things are configured and what your real needs and goals are.
