Add a Part Number Next to the Other

General

• You may want to connect part numbers if the corresponding parts are connected together. For example, in a screw connection, the part numbers of the screw, nut and washers are side by side on one reference line.
• A new part number can be added to the left, right, above or below the part number.
• This insertion method is related to the function Add Part Numbers and is only available for independent drawings made by drawing.
• If you add several part numbers in this way, a part number cluster is formed, the part numbers of which are linked to each other.
• If a part number with a reference line is moved, the other part numbers attached to it will be moved with it.
• A part number which does not appear to have a reference line has one, but it is not visible. If necessary, you can add the reference line with the context-sensitive function. See Add a Reference Line to a Part Number Where it Does not Exist.

Starting point

• A part number or part numbers have already been added to the drawing, next to which you want to add a part number.
• Part numbering is in progress with the function Drawing | Mechanical | Parts List > Part Number.
• The program asks you to click the start point (of the reference line).
