XS_​USE_​ASSEMBLY_​NUMBER_​FOR

Category : Numbering

Use this advanced option if you want the assembly/cast unit number to be also the main part number for the corresponding assembly/cast unit. Use one of the following options:

  • Leave this option blank for each part in the assembly to get a part number, regardless of whether the assembly contains only one main part or several parts. Click the link to see an example of one part only or of multiple parts.

  • Set to MAIN_PART to always assign the assembly or cast unit number to the main part of an assembly or cast unit. All other parts, if any, will use part number. Click the link to see an example of one part only or of multiple parts.

  • Set to LOOSE_PART to assign the assembly or cast unit number to the main part of an assembly or cast unit that has no other parts. If the assembly or cast unit has several parts, the main part will receive a part number. Click the link to see an example of one part only or of multiple parts.

    The assembly prefix replaces the part prefix.

Note:

Do not use the same prefix for parts and assemblies.

This advanced option is role specific. When the type SYSTEM(ROLE) is in use, the default value is used. When the type MODEL(ROLE) or DRAWING(ROLE) is in use, you can change the value, which is then the same for all users in the current model.
