Allow renaming Solidworks configuration names in Upchain

Allow renaming Solidworks configuration names in Upchain

As a CAD Designer , I need to be able to change the configuration names on Solidworks model as well as corresponding Items linked to those configurations in Upchain . Potential workflow below

 

1) Download & checkout the Item from Upchain

2) Open the Solidworks Model and navigate to the 'Configurations' tab in Solidworks

3) Rt Click --> Properties on SWx configuration that needs to be renamed . Assign the new name in the 'Configuration Name' field , then Click OK

4) Save the SWx Model & check in to Upchain

5) Configuration names should get updated against the respective Items in Upchain 

 

As per the WDI design standards , all Solidworks configurations should be named as Dash configurations ( Eg -1 , -2 , -3 )

WDI Designers / External vendors may check in Models in Upchain with non dash configurations . This may happen due to a variety of reasons

1) Incorrect Models Templates being used by Designers

2) Vendor Models for Purchased Parts

 

If the Models where checked in to Upchain with incorrect configuration names , the CAD Designer would need to clean up the configuration names to match the Disney standards and would therefore need the ability to rename existing configuration names in Solidworks files and corresponding Items in Upchain

We’ve just added this one into our roadmap for future implementation. No ETA yet on when it might be coming but we will be sure to keep everyone informed  as we move along.

Best regards,
