With the explosion in Onshape use since then, I assume teams have gained more insights into good ways to name all the things, and it seems like a topic worthy of a fresh summer CD discussion. While I try to name things descriptively so it’s easy to search & find later, I would not say I have a good standard to recommend… hoping some of you do. Thanks!
(Mechanism number)-(part number)-(part description as long as needed)
The document+folder tells you which robot it’s for, so we don’t need that in the part name, and we are rarely working on multiple years of robots at once.
We name our assemblies “[insert mechanism here]”. EX: “Elevator”, “Drivetrain”, “Pivot”, etc. We name our Part Studios “[insert mechanism here] PS”. EX: “Elevator PS”, “Drivetrain PS”, “Pivot PS”, etc.
