I am making a CAD library of every AM/VP/WCP gear and have heard mixed signals regarding file names. Some people have said just using part numbers is the best way to name a file since it makes finding the part on the AM/VP/WCP websites faster, and others have said having an easily understood naming system that shows the tooth count, bore, and manufacturer would make it quicker and easier to find the gear you want without having to memorize numbers. I agree with both statements.

What would you all suggest as the most user-friendly system?

Currently, I've adapted a combination of both, where the file name is a system that describes the gear, and inside the library folder is a text file that matches my file names with their respective part numbers, but I have received some feedback saying that that is too complex.

I appreciate all suggestions, and look forward to releasing this library to the public within the next day or so when I finish.
