Standard Parts Library
The numbering system in Parabuild will also look at standard parts in the library, and will use the numbers found in those drawings to automatically assign numbers in the current 3D drawing.
Standard parts can be seen as "Off the shelf" parts that do not need shop drawings, and should get a pre-defined position number so that the persons in the shop know which shelf-part to use by the position number only.
For more information about this, see the Parabuild global settings dialog topic.
