Part Number Data

Defines the data for a part number added to a drawing, such as the starting number, increment, associativity with an element, etc. Define the part number data in the dialog box.

Dialog Box Options

Part Number / Reference Part Number

Defines the starting number. The drawing has a consecutive 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 more than once, press the Ctrl key at the same time. Detailed instructions on adding the same part number are described in the section adding a part number.

Increment

Defines the increment between consecutive part numbers. Select a suitable value from the list, or enter a new value. For example, the increment can be 1 or 0.1.

Attach to Line, Hatch, Macro

Defines the part number or reference part number associative with a line, hatch or a macro selected from a drawing.

For example, if you attach a part number to a Line, the part number is associative with only the selected single line. If you move the line, the part number moves with it. This also applies to the other attachments. When a text is associated with an element, the deletion of the element also deletes the associated text.

If you attach a part number to an element, you need to define the part data for the selected element. You can also add a part number without associativity. In that case you need to define the part data for the part number.
