Part Number Data

Define the data of a part number added to a projection of a drawing generated from a model, including initial number, number increment, and the adding method of the part number. Define the part number data in the dialog box.

Dialog Box Options

Part number

Defines the starting number. The drawing has a running numbering, beginning from the starting number. The next number is determined by the increment set for the part number.

If you wish to add the same part number to more than one projection, hold down the Ctrl key while adding a part number. Detailed instructions on adding the same part number are described in the section adding a part number.

No element marking

Parts and assemblies are marked by default when part numbers are added for clarity so that the user knows where to click for the starting point of the part number. The marking is performed, if you use the Number function to add part numbers.

A part to which you are adding a part number is highlighted in green in the projections.

Sometimes the marking of parts and assemblies can take an unreasonably long time, and adding the part numbers without marking would be desirable. In this case, select No element marking.

Automatically

Start automatic part numbering in the projection of a model drawing by clicking the button. You can also use this function to add part numbers that are missing from the drawing.

Select the projection you wish to add part numbers to in the drawing, and click two corner points to select the area inside which the part numbers will be positioned. Click the lower left corner point and the upper right corner point. If all parts belonging to the model are not visible in the projection, you can accept the part numbering of these parts in different projection, or add the part numbers individually.

Number

Start the part numbering in the model drawing by clicking the button. The parts are then displayed in a table. Fill in part numbers in the empty fields. After accepting the table, click the positions for the part numbers in the drawing.
