standard or practice for CAD file naming

hello i am looking for some european standard or practice for CAD CAM
and in general PLM stucture file naming. For example "aec (uk) cad
standard" just it seems to be more for Architects then for Mechanical
CAD.. thanks

 

correct part number and revision this is what i would like to know if
there is any EU standard like ISO or any other or some practice of
file naming for 3D CAD.. Part is file so if i give "part01A" it is not
enough.. i mean i would like to have not only part number like 12345
and its revision ABCD but as well if I work with sheet metal it is
sheet metal part if there are some configurations I would like to see
them in the part name or if it has any external references etc.. after
there are assambles and subasm and subsubasm and how to find what i
need in that mess... I use copies of my parts slightly changed i would
like to see it in the file name and finally part should have unique
name..

 

well i would not put dims to file name sure if u do check "aec (uk)
cad standard" all what i was writing is correct in fact but just i do
prefer to have one for 3d mech CAD and EU one. I do not think that
could be ridiculous to have tipe of part like sheet metal etc in the
part name..
thanks Bob and what do u mean by part number then?. Like defoult
SolidWorks Part1 Part1 ?..

 

I agree with others, except that I would avoid putting the revision IF
you have a PLM. There's no point, and just makes file management a
message. In fact, even if you don't have a PLM, I would suggest not
using Revision in the current revision of the file name but only in
the history copies. This is to keep links to files within the
assemblies consist.

hi Bob the question is not to have a number but what you write in your
part number or how to name product development data?
inventory number is final product ID but not CAD CAM data like part or
assambles numbers.
If I am seller I do not need to know product development process they
need to know how to find and specify particular product.
I cannot see something common in final product inventory part number
and design proces with all its stages..
Can you give me one example please of the partnumber you talking
about?
thx
