MWAutoNumber for MechWorks PDM Automation.

AutoNumber Format Options – Configurations Tab

The user is prompted to select from the available Formats and they select that same exact AutoNumber Format that they selected earlier (for the first three configurations that were managed within MechWorks PDM):

The newly inserted configuration ( 003 ) is renamed within SolidWorks. Its managed record within MechWorks PDM is based on the File Name ( ENG_00687 ) from the selected AutoNumber Format scheme, followed by the “ -( “ defined from the Prefix option, followed by its original configuration name ( 003 ), followed by the “ ) ” defined from the Postfix option. The following two figures show that the newly inserted configuration was automatically renamed within SolidWorks and that its [ ID ] and [ CONFIGURATION ] values within MechWorks PDM have been assigned based on the AutoNumber Format scheme.
