Add a Part Number

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.

Associativity of a part number to an element affects as follows:

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

Add a part number as follows:

1. On the tab, in the Part Number group, click Part Number.
2. Define the Part Number Data in the dialog box.
   • Enter the initial number.
   • Define the number increment.
   • Select the element type with which the part number will be associated.
3. Select OK.
4. Select the text properties.
5. Select a starting point of the part number.

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

6. Select a location for the part number.
7. If you wish 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 adding the same part number to another place in the same way.
   • When you wish to continue numbering with the next part number, release the Ctrl key before adding the same part number for the last time.

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