Re: Part nomenclature for COTS gear CAD library
Adam has a pretty comprehensive library that I began with when I started with the team a few years ago. Since then, I've added multiple things in. This entire library nomenclature was/is standardized by the part name/description. For example, I have Socket Head Cap Screws in the fasteners folder under SHCS with the corresponding bolt lengths and then, in some instances, thread lengths. Another example would be gears that I have (60 Tooth .500 Bearing 20DP Dog Gear)
I think that if you're trying to name things, keep it to what is universally known or if anything, provide a significant amount of documentation as to how parts were named. I'd prefer the former rather than the latter since I currently use that method and it works well for me.
EDIT: Part number addition for retailers would certainly be useful. Just as long as the file name isn't extremely long.
