Customized Number Sequences

Models, model drawings and self-drafted drawings can be numbered (named) with customized number sequences.

• Model

  The next free model number is retrieved for the model from the d_DOCID Vertex database, based on the initial number defined on the MOD row.

  For example, the initial number is Lm30000. The models are numbered as follows:

  Lm30001
  Lm30002
  etc.

• Model Drawing

  The ID of a model drawing is formed based on the model number. Should you wish to save the model drawing in the drawing archive, it will be automatically numbered.

  For example, the initial number is Lm30000.

  First model drawing - Lm30001

  Second model drawing - Lm30001-2, continuing with extensions -3, -4 etc.

• Self-drafted 2D drawing

  The next free number is retrieved for the 2D drawing from the d_DOCID Vertex database, based on the initial number defined on the PIC row.

  For example, the initial number is Lp60000.

  A new self-drafted drawing - Lp60001

Setup - Customized number sequences

1. Open the Vertex directory System/autom_macros/Document_numbering_sample1 in Windows Explorer.
2. Also familiarize yourself with the operational description (txt file).
3. Copy the following files into the ../vxg4_srv/Custom/macros folder.
   • def_mod_id - Custom number sequences, model.
   • def_pic_id - Custom number sequences, drawing.

   If the Custom folder does not exist in the file system, paste the file into the folder Shared/macros.

4. Define the initial numbers for document numbers.
