Using Autoname

You can automatically generate names for new designs while saving them to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform using Autoname option.

Before you begin:
  • You can define a value for ReplaceTitleByNewName flag in SolidEdgeUPSSettings.ini file as follows:
    • True= an appending string replaces the existing name.
    • False (by default defined condition without flag)= an automatically generated name is appended as suffix to the existing name.
  • You can rename the following objects using Autoname command.
    • Assemblies
    • Parts
    • Drawings
    • Weldment
    • Sheetmetal
  • You cannot rename attachments, factories, or instances using Autoname command.
  1. Open the required assembly from locally saved data and click Save from MySession.
    The 3DEXPERIENCE Save dialog box opens.
  2. Select Autoname check box and click OK.

    Note: By default Autoname check box is not selected.

    • The structure is successfully saved to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform and the Solid Edge® feature tree is updated with new names for the assembly.
    • The files in the local directory are also renamed.
