Assembly numbering

Assembly numbering is similar to part numbering

  1. When you create a new assembly in Pro/ENGINEER, use the assembly number as the assembly name. Do not add revision numbers or product codes to the assembly number--that information is tracked separately by the system. When you save an assembly, the filename will consist of your assembly number with an ".asm" suffix automatically added by the system.
  2. If the assembly is to have a family table, assign a descriptive name (such as vertical_drive) to the generic assembly. Assign assembly names to instances in the family table.
  3. Before starting a new assembly, use Pro/LOCATE to check commonspace for the assembly name you intend to assign to your model. This check prevents assembly and assembly number duplication.
