Example 1:

If there is no entry on the tabbed page Standard name, the name is generated with the default Standard name [NB].

This would be according to:

NB='$NB.'

Example 2: A condition is used.

If there is no ERP number available then the NB (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.

Calling the external script is performed via NB=TSCRIPT('nb.ruletable','$CALCED_ROW.','$NB.').

Set the entries under Standard name, Standard name (short) or 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

    end if

    pos=Instr(1,normbezeichnung,"FAG")
    if pos >= 1 then

    end if

    if pos >= 1 then
       result=table.rows.item(mmrow).resolvevariables("$ERP_PDM_NUMBER.",0)+
       "-EL"+table.rows.item(mmrow).resolvevariables("$ROHR.$S.",0)
    end if

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

end function

	Note
	For self-created vbs files, a special license is required. You can only use a script nb.vbs, if in PARTadmin; in configuration file plinkcommon.cfg, in the block [Common], the key NBMODULE is inserted and the value set to nb.

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

See Section 4.25.7.7.1, “Change standard descriptions according to project ”.

To define the Standard name and thus the CAD file name you can use IF conditions, Fortran syntax, constants and ERP variables (launch with '$Variablename.') to create names:
