Display Names

For parts, assemblies, and drawings, the 3DExperience Connector for SOLIDWORKS allows you to have a display name that is different from the file name. The file name is a unique identifier that remains unchanged. The display name lets you refer to the file by a name that you can change as needed over the course of the file’s lifecycle. When you open the file in SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP4 or later, the display name is shown in place of the file name in, for example, the Reload, Pack and Go, and References dialog boxes, the FeatureManager design tree, and the ConfigurationManager.

Generating Cut List IDs

You can generate cut list IDs or unique reference IDs for each cut list or cut list folder based on the cut list attributes. Click Tools > Options > Document Properties > Weldments. Under Cut list IDs, select Generate Cut list IDs. You can define different expression values based on the type of cut list. Unique cut list IDs result in the unique naming convention of cut lists that can be used to index the database.
