You can now automatically propagate selected reference designations to feature names using the <REF_DES> expression in the Propagate to Feature Name dialog box. Feature names are linked to wtParts in Windchill and later in MPMLink when managing the Parts list report. You can use the <REF_DES> expression together with any other text string for customized naming. Additionally, you can remove feature names for selected components by deleting the expression and leaving the feature name text field empty.

Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0

User Interface Location:

1.In the Cabling application, click Logical Data > Auto Designate. The Auto Designator dialog box opens.

Benefits:
