### – Refers to the component part number (e.g., 001)

Example: 001_@MM_blade.prt

###_@MM_descriptor – Master Model
###_DWG_descriptor – Working Drawings
###_CNC_descriptor – Manufacturing Models
###_CNC_BLANK_descriptor – Blank Geometry
###_FXT_descriptor – Fixture Models
###_FXTCNC_descriptor – CNC Programming to make Fixtures
###_FXTDWG_descriptor – Fixture Model Engineering Drawings

@_descriptor – Fundamental geometry that will be used on more than one model. For example, an outline that becomes a profile for several components.

SETUP_descriptor – General Setup Files (vise, machine base, parallels) These are general shop parts and are not made in-house.

Note: If a part changes after release, a revision will need to be documented (use Engineering Change Request).  Original models saved to an archive, and revised models become live.

Note: If there are multiple models for the same descriptor, add a secondary descriptor after the primary descriptor, for example, 01_FXT_blade_mill reverse side.prt.
