Add a Part Number

This function is available when a drawing of a part model or an assembly model is open.

You can add part numbers by the specified increment, but you can also add the same part number more than once.

You can attach the part number associatively to a specific element, line, hatch or macro, for example.

Associative of the part number to an element affects as follows:

• The part number moves together with the element, if you move the element, to which the reference line has been attached.
• The other part numbers placed in the same cluster next to each other, are also moved, if they are associative with the same element.

Add a part number.

1. On the tab, in the Tools group, click Part Number.
2. Define the part number data in the dialog box.
   • Enter the first number.
   • Define the number increment.
   • Select the object type to which the part number will be associated.
3. Click OK.
4. Select the text properties on the Properties tab.
5. Select the start point of the part number.

   If you selected attachment to the line, hatch or macro, select the start point from the object type you selected.

6. Select a location for the part number.
7. If you want to add the same part number more than once, do as follows:
   • Hold down Ctrl key, click the start point of the part number and the position for the first time.
   • Continue by adding the same part number to another place.
   • When you want to continue numbering with the next part number, release the Ctrl key before adding the same part number the last time.

     The part number will change after you have added the same part number once more after releasing the Ctrl key.
