Use to have Tekla Structures use only letters in part numbers.
Enter any combination of the following options:
Option
Description
%PART_PREFIX%
Part prefix, defined in the part properties in the property pane.
%PART_POS%
Part position number, defined by the start number (from part properties in the property pane) and the final position in that numbering series.
%PART_POS_WITH_LETTERS%
Same as above, but with letters.
Uses letters A – Z by default, but you can also define valid letters with the advanced option XS_VALID_CHARS_FOR_PART_POSITION_NUMBERS.
The position number/ letter switch can also include a suffix defining the minimum number of digits (or letters), for example: %PART_POS.3%. This example results in a first part number of 001, second 002 etc.
This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
