The software provides several options for naming Hangers and Supports that you create. These naming rules are listed in the GenericNameRules.xls spreadsheet located in the appropriate install folder: ...\CatalogData\BulkLoad\DataFiles. For more information on creating naming rules, see the Smart 3D Reference Data in the Smart 3D Help.

Tag Name Rule
For parent assemblies, the naming rule creates a name based on the assembly being used, Global Workshare location ID, and an index number. The naming rule inserts a dash "-" between each section of the name. For example, a parent assembly placed on a pipeline is called Assy_FR_LS_CS_1-1-1.
For child parts of the assembly, the naming rule creates a name based on the part being placed, Global Workshare location ID, and an index number preceded by a "C." The naming rule inserts a dash "-" between each section of the name. For example, a child part used by an assembly is called HgrAisc31_C3x6-1-C1. If more than one of a particular part is used in an assembly, the index number increases. For example, a second part is called HgrAisc31_C3x6-1-C2.
The following is an example of three different assemblies placed on the same pipeline.
