Re: Part nomenclature for COTS gear CAD library
Not sure about Solidworks or Inventor, but Creo has two fields when you create a part: common name and file name. When I create parts I use the common name as a descriptive name and the file name as the part number/machine name. I also store manufacturer part numbers and specs as parameters in model. All that is searchable so it makes it pretty easy to find whatever COTS part I'm looking for. I'd also be curious to hear about how 525 does this because their CAD work consistently blows me away.
