Part numbers
Think i'm in the right place, we have at work Cocreate CDMS 2008 and our project is going to be put on this system to make a drawing structure and BoM of parts etc, they are also going into Sap for purchasing so all this information will be loaded on that too with eBoms and all the rest but we are having to change alot of drawings as the part numbers contain illegal charaters $ / spaces etc for cdms and sap, at the moment they are dealing with cdms, but from what i can see Sap had an update and that allowed illegal charaters so that should not be a problem if looked into.
Is there nothing for cdms ?? the company have used cdms on other programs and had to create inhouse part numbers to put in the ebom. so at the moment they do it so everybody else has to. this is not my forte so i might have the packages wrong, but it does seem daft and a wate of alot of money due to some spaces in a oem partnumber,. |

Re: Part numbers
Never had to deal with spaces in a p/n ever in almost 30 years. Most pre-CAD era (manual drawings) would have spaces. When CAD became available, spaces were not allowed. Even DOS based systems did not allow it.
It would be a bunch of trouble changing file names to remove spaces to have CoCreate and Creo to behave right with assemblies.

Re: Part numbers
Quote:
Our part numbers are with periods like 3.171.020.017 Each numeric field represents a descriptor for the part. This is how our parts are defined in CoCreate for the past decade. We could also do our part number as 3-171-020-017 to convey the same part number meaning. Both of these formats work with CoCreate. Both of these formats will work in Windows. The hyphen format works well in Windows and Unix. It would take some doing to rebuild each assembly with the correct part number without spaces unless other here know of a faster way.

Re: Part numbers
I'm not sure if it helps with what you're trying to accomplish, but the way we deal with that is to assign our own part number to purchase parts such as bearings, connectors, fasteners, etc. then we have a field for the manufacturer name and a field for the manufacturer part number. Then you can put any information you want in the manufacturer part number field. You can also define alternate manufacturers for the same part.

Re: Part numbers
Hi yes that's the way they are going to do it, but the translation will be on the drawing face, this is fine for new design but old design means updating a load of drawings.
Our illegal characters lists / \ will these not work off the top of my head we use a lot of D38999 connectors ? |
