Defining Object Naming Rules

When you create an object in your design, the object is assigned a default name or a unique identifier (ID). This usually consists of a prefix that identifies what type of object or part it is, followed by a unique number. You can choose to accept this default name or, if you wish, you can reject it and enter a different name.

The default name is based on some rules, which are associated to PLM Opening PLMIdentificationInitialization. Sample rules are provided. You can copy relevant segments to your rules or modify these, as required.

General information about the PLM Opening is as follows:

PLM Opening ID	PLMIdentificationInitalization
Location	Client Side
Customization Intent	Execution

The table below lists the Piping & Tubing Design objects, the sample rules applied to them, and the expected default names.

Type	Objects	Sample Rules	Expected Results
VPMReference	Piping_Part	PipingPipeRef Identification .CATRule	Ref-<USeqNum> Eg:Ref-111
	Piping_Rigid_Pipe
	Piping_Flexible_Pipe
VPMInstance	Piping_Part	PipingInstance Identification .CATRule	<V_SubPartType> <USeqNum> Eg:Adaptor-432
	Piping_Rigid_Pipe		Inst-<USeqNum> Eg:Inst-111
	Piping_Flexible_Pipe

The sample rules PipingPipeRefIdentification.CATRule and PipingInstanceIdentification.CATRule belong to the Rule Family PLMBusinessLogicIdentification_Physical_Piping.CATRuleExit. These rules are in ..win_b64\resources\samples .

To get the above expected results, you need to copy the relevant code segments from these rules into your rules.
