It's so simple, but i HAVE TO solve it! It has to be stored somewhere.

How do i control the Name field when I update a chapter using Create/Modify catalog??? I am passing in a folder of resolved parts and an attribute filter. The name seems to spawn first with my generic attributes, then it tosses in my user parameters for good measure. The result is a completely unhelpful and nonsensical name.

This field is automatically filled out when I run create/update and there's no way to put a PartNumber column the way I normally would with a design table. Furthermore, this field is automatically passed into the Piping workbench when I do Place Piping Part, and I can't tell the difference between my parts!!!

Since this is just a catalog command (not a piping command) I can't seem to find it anywhere. There are hardly any options for Catalog Editor, and I can't find it in my Equipment and Systems PRM. I am going to lose my mind if I can't solve this. It's ridiculous for me to have to guess what each part is! I can manually change the name, but I'm dealing with about 100,000 parts... and this catalog changes constantly, overwriting the names anyway.

 

Somebody save me! Thanks guys!
