Note:

If part names are the same for more than one part, successive names of parts are indexed with numbers. For example, if there are 3 parts with same name Cylinder, then

  • the first part in the product tree is named as Cylinder

  • second part is named as Cylinder (1)

  • third part is named as Cylinder (2)

Renaming of part names does not affect the part list module. Part list panel displays old names only. To avoid this issue, rename the parts and save them into a new CAX file. Open the saved file and notice that the part list panel displays the parts with new names.
