Automatic naming overview
This feature is part of an extension. Extensions are a flexible way to access additional capabilities in Fusion. Learn more.
Automatically rename nests and sheets in the Browser and nest reports, based on a specified naming rule. When a naming rule is created, it applies only to the current document.
The automatic naming helps make it easier to identify nests or sheets based on their properties.
The naming rule can include information on material type, thickness, and custom text.

You can import or export naming rules to your hub. When importing, Fusion looks for a naming rule file in the Data Panel location: Assets > NestNameConventions > Default.json. When exporting, it saves to the same location and will overwrite any existing file. Because the naming rule is stored in the Assets folder on the Fusion web client, all users on the same hub share a common naming rule for their nesting workflows. Only one naming rule can be saved per hub.
