Part numbering

Basic guidelines

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