Short version:
In the action rules for copy design. Please include property "Browser node name" for making it possible to set: "Browser node name > Set value as > File name.
This is also important for the "rename" command found on the regular right click menu.
Long version and explanation:
When using copy design in Vault it is very easy to use Action rules to update the Part number to be equal to the new file name.
This is critical and work perfect.
However, the "Browser node name" seen in the Model browser in inventor is impossible to get updated when using copy design.
This is also critical and does not work since there isn't any option to manage this.
Test:
Make an assembly consisting of two parts. First with the browser node name untouched and the second with a modified browser node name.
Check in and run a copy design in vault and open the assembly. Now the browser node names for the assembly itself and the first part are updated, the browser node still displays "part number". However, the second part with the modified browser node name is not updated and still shows the old modified name.
This is a big problem. Since my customer works with hundreds of imported cad-files, every single browser node name has been "overwritten" in the import process (by the system or by choice I do not know).
The files are then being used as normal and when running copy design it gets really confusing since about 70% of the files in an assembly now are displayed with the wrong/old name in the model browser.
To correct this the user must delete the name and hit enter to get it reset to file name (or use rename browser nodes). This seems like an extra step and can get frustrating.
It seems to me that there is a lack of functionality here and probably this is easy for you to implement:
In the action rules for copy design. Please include property "Browser node name" for making it possible to set: "Browser node name > Set value as > File name.
This is also important for the "rename" command found on the regular right click menu.
