Numbering of elements

Preparing the 3D-drawing ››
Parent Previous Next

The position and assembly numbers can be given a suffix using AutoCAD Properties.

Example:

The following values of an element are entered:

Prefix: K

Suffix: Z

This will result in the final number on part lists and workshop drawings: K9Z

The number 9 is assigned automatically by Parabuild, depending on what numbers are available.

Two elements that are exactly the same (geometrically), but have a different prefix or suffix will be given a different position number.

 

The start number of an element means some numbers will be ignored.

If an element is given the start number 100, then Parabuild will try to assign the element K100Z, if this number is already being used by another element then Parabuild will try to assign the next number, and so on.
