Is there a best practise for doing the above? Here is the issue:
When a V5 Part or Product is created in the platform using XEN, the user can manually type in the title. This in turn will change the filename. There is nothing to stop users using the same file name over and over. This would cause a problem if 2 parts with the same filename are added in to an assembly.
The possible solution is to create a new part or product and leave the system generated Title and Filename (Physical Productxxxxxxxx). This would ensure filename uniqueness and once the object is created will allow the user to change the Title and/or assign EIN without affecting the filename.
The problem with this solution is when the user needs to send native V5 data out of the platform to a supplier. All the data will be named 'Physical Productxxxxxxxx) and be meaningless. Yes, we could condition the data with a script before sending it but as this would be a common requirement there should be an OOTB solution.
In UES (Solidworks Connector there is an Autoname function for filenames to ensure uniqueness but we still face the same problem when taking the native data to share outside of the platform)
