Numbering PartNumbers
Element Numbering, allows you to assign an incremental code to an element or selection of elements, by setting a prefix for the project and the increments for the series, you can also assign a category.
The command generates, for each project, a report in Excel format that contains the list of codes assigned to the part/assembly and the relative information (code, file name, element name, type, description, material, date, user).
The directory path where is the file is defined in dialog ICMechSettings - Global Setting -> Numbering
Select one or more parts and drag the command to the scene.
In the dialog that appears you choose the project and the series (and possibly a category) to be assigned to the selection, the code will be shown in the bottom box and confirming will be applied to the part.
At the top of the dialog we find four icons for managing the numbering.
