ByxLM Solutions
Discover how xLM Solutions' SOLIDWORKS Set Filename Based on 'Part Number' Property AddIn can transform your file management process

Efficiency and precision in data handling are paramount in PLM/PDM. At xLM Solutions, we understand the intricacies of these complex environments and the need for tools that streamline operations and improve accuracy. Our latest offering, the SOLIDWORKS Set Filename Based on "Part Number" Property AddIn, exemplifies our commitment to enhancing your PLM experience.
Introduction to the SOLIDWORKS Set Filename Based on "Part Number" Property AddIn
This custom AddIn is designed to simplify the file saving process in SOLIDWORKS by automatically setting filenames based on a configurable property, such as the part number. This ensures that file names are consistent and accurate, reflecting the part number directly in the file name, thus reducing errors and saving valuable engineering time.
How It Works
When you save a file in SOLIDWORKS, the AddIn automatically extracts the part number from the file’s properties and uses it as the filename. This integration not only minimizes manual data entry but also ensures that the document management process aligns with organizational standards and practices. This tool is demonstrated in conjunction with OpenBOM, a leading PLM system, to show how seamlessly it integrates with other software to provide a comprehensive solution.
