PDM counter on non-3D SolidWorks file possible by including it in its name?

I renamed everything Dispatch (variable, action) to Compteur_hors_3D but it does the same.

When you archive the file for the first time when it was created, does the data map variable "JAN_CODE..." " takes the value of the incremented counter ?

If so , I don't see why the dispatch action would rename to "0" since your dispatch variable "Counters files out of 3D... " should copy "JAN_CODE" and then use it to rename... To check in the list of dispatch actions you can add a "Message OK" action in the first line that you configure to display the value of "Non-3D file counters". What does it display?

For the extension it's more complex. You lose it because the rename action replaces ALL the name (including the extension) with the content of the variable. You will have to use string functions to retrieve the current extension from the filename (copy the characters to the right of the "." ) and concatenate them to the new filename. Not intuitive but it can be done ;)

Yes, I find the value of the meter in the data card where "JAN-CODE" is set.

I'm looking at the stocks on Monday.

Have a nice weekend.

I've already tried to add the "OK message" but it does exactly the same.

I must have set it up incorrectly:

Well I give up, we'll add it by hand in the cases concerned because no matter how much I tried a lot of things, nothing helps.

Thank you all for your help, especially romain.jouanny !
