Example 1:

If no entry is made on the Standard designation [Standard name] tab page, the name is created with the standard [Standard name] standard designation [NB ].

This would be according to:

NB='$NB.'

Example 2: A condition is used.

If no ERP number is available, the NB (standard designation [Standard name] ) is created by default, otherwise the ERP number is used.

Through the ERP_PDM_NUMBER uniqueness is ensured. The standard name provides a meaningful part in the file name.

IF ('$ERP_PDM_NUMBER.'.EQ.'')THEN
NB = '$NB.'
ELSE
NB = '$ERP_PDM_NUMBER._$NB'
ENDIF

Example 3:

If there are different strength, surfaces, etc. available for parts which are identic regarding their geometry then this can be considered in the naming rule.

E.g.: Creation of the file name by NB plus material.

NB=('$NB._$MAT_NAME.')

If the options in the entry field do not suffice, you can generate a reference to a vbs script and work with complex conditions.

The external script is called using NB=TSCRIPT('nb.ruletable','$CALCED_ROW.','$NB.').

The entries are made under standard designation [Standard name], standard designation (short) [Standard name (short)] or parts list designation [BOM name].

Script call

An exemplary script "nb.ruletable" could look like the following. The called function's name is "ruletable" in this example.

function ruletable(table,calced_row,orgNB)
  result=""
  mmrow=cint(calced_row)
  if mmrow >= 0 then
     tmp=table.NN
     normbezeichnung=table.rows.item(mmrow).resolvevariables("$NB.",0)

'0.************************************************
    pos=Instr(1,normbezeichnung,"DIN")
    if pos = 1 then
       result=tmp+"_"+table.rows.item(mmrow).resolvevariables("$NENN.$MAT_NAME.",0)
    end if

'1.************************************************
    if tmp="DIN 912" then
       result="ISO4762abcd"+"_"+table.rows.item(mmrow).resolvevariables

    end if

       "-EL"+table.rows.item(mmrow).resolvevariables("$ROHR.$S.",0)
    end if

'6.************************************************
       if tmp="DIN 7993-B 2" then
       result=table.rows.item(mmrow).resolvevariables("$ERP_PDM_NUMBER.",0)+

	Note
	A special license is required for self-created vbs files. You can only use the script nb.vbs if you insert the key NBMODULE in the configuration file plinkcommon.cfg in the Common block in PARTadmin and set this to the value nb .

If the NB is part of the naming rule the NB can be adjusted according to projects.

See Section 4.24.8.2.7.1, “Change standard descriptions according to project ”.

To define the standard name [Standard name] and thus the CAD file name, you can use IF conditions, Fortran syntax, constants and ERP variables (call with '$Variablenname.') to form the name:
