Can I map "PartNumber" in SW to "Number" in PDMWorks?

yes, it in the admin tool.

Kenneth,

I understand the property mapping...However, PartNumber as assigned via the configuration properties (User Specified Name selected OR $partnumber in a design table) is not a custom property. Hence my question since I don't know what Custom Property to use.

Thank you,

If I understand correctly, using a single part for multiple p/n's with cause nothing but grief. I highly recommend one p/n = one file.

If you insist on going down this road you may want to look at another PDM. IMHO, configurations (whether driven by design table or not) are a great feature. I just don't think managing p/n's (revision) is one of it's strong suits.

Kenneth,

The revision management is not a problem for us here. We've already established our partnumber system and revision system and it works with PDMWorks. All I need is to get that partnumber to show up in PDMWorks through PDMWorks properties.

Thank you,

Sorry for the lecture. PDMW will only map to Custom Properties.

i have no knowledge of this area, but it might be possible to program thru the API.

Kenneth,

Thanks for that. I'll look into that.

So, perhaps what is needed is an API macro that moves that info into a custom property?

thanks, already figured that out. see previous thread.
