Part Naming Conventions

TDM uses five attributes to create a unique item:

During the migration process, the translator uses the BuildNameUsingPartNumberFirst in the TDM2SE.ini file to determine how these attributes are combined to create a unique file name.

Parameter

Attibute Combination Used to Create File Name

BuildNameUsingPartNumberFirst=0

Part Name + Part Number + Version + Type

BuildNameUsingPartNumberFirst=1

Part Number + Part Name + Version + Type

BuildNameUsingPartNumberFirst=2

Part Number + Revision + Version + Type

Note:

If the translator cannot find this parameter in the file, acts as if the parameter was in the file and set to 0.

Solid Edge migrates all versions of the part, assembly, or drawing files.

Limitation on Folder and Document Names

SharePoint Portal Server supports the same conventions that the file system supports for naming folders and documents. Folder and document names can consist of all Unicode characters except for the following characters: # : \ ? * < > % / | " ~

If a TDM item contains any of the forbidden characters in the Part Name or Part Number, Solid Edge:

  1. Replaces the character with an underbar (_).

  2. Appends _unique Number of the file name, where Unique number = number+1

  3. Logs the event to the log file.

For example, if the TDM Part Name is Test~1, Solid Edge renames the file to Test_1_1.asm. Suppose there are two other TDM files named Test\1 and Test/1, Solid Edge renames these files Test_1_2.asm and Test_1_3.asm.

The log file would contain the following information:

The file name Test~1.asm has been renamed to Test_1_1.asm due to a Windows file naming limitation
