as from object you would know how to tell me the difference well so as to regulate me accordingly as soon as I have to rename something? Thank you.
 
I have read dani-3d, but to be honest my doubts have not resolved. both when I make the rename, and when I open the famili table I always have the two columns of common name and instance name (I have the English version) and still remains dark as mastering the two things.

if you know/know to explain better I would be grateful
 
In fact there is not much to understand ... the common name is an additional description than the object code, if it can serve, one can use it, otherwise ... nothing. I was curious too and I wondered what I could use it, but I practically didn't do anything about it.

It was right to understand. I assume that the instance name is the name that appears in the file model tree and filename when I access the workbook from windows. a modification of it involves losing the change in these two contexts and in all the axioms in which I used the file.

I wanted to understand what happens if I change the instance name (if for example I keep them all the same within the family table or if I diversify them for example by giving them the same as the common name etc) .... be able to understand how to master the resource of the instance name without making irreversible damages

Thank you.
 
... the instance name is the name that appears in the file model tree and filename
exact, it is the name of the file, the main code that is then used also in the assemblies to recall the various details.
... if for example I keep them all the same inside the family table ...
It is not possible, the instance name cannot be duplicated, it must be unique, otherwise it tells you that it already exists.
 
common name is a parameter that can be used to identify an entire family of components.
I used it to identify commercial components from drawing components (in this case the common name was identical to the model name).
if properly exploited, it returns very useful in plm research (all components of the same supplier or project), or to create filters in table tables and levels.

the trouble according to me, is that ptc makes it mandatory to manage and this in many cases is an additional thing to do not have inconsistencies in some cases.

personally I recommend to manage it only as categories of details (minutes, commercial components, components supplier xyz, uni xxxx etc.)
