Using the Document Name Formula


The Document Name Formula, defined on the Helpers page of the QY CAD Options dialog box, displays a value you compose by selecting various document properties. You can use the formula in place of the file name throughout QY CAD. The Document Name Formula is used in both unmanaged and managed Solid Edge environments.

Add to Teamcenter Interactive utilizes the document name formula defined for unmanaged QY CAD documents [Filename].

Replacing the file name with the document name formula value

You can use the Document Name Formula dialog box to replace the file name with a value composed of document properties. Combining document properties with additional characters to replace the file name makes identifying your documents even easier. For example, you can separate two properties with a dash, such as Document Number–Revision Number.

If a document property does not exist or does not have an assigned value, the property name is displayed in place of the property value, and the file name is displayed in parentheses after the value.
