This example shows how different numbering settings can be used for different part types. We will use one set of numbering settings for steel anchor rods, and another one for steel columns. Note that the Number series of selected objects command numbers all parts that have the same assembly prefix.

1. Create steel columns.
2. Create anchor rods with the numbering series prefix AR and start number 1.

   Ensure that this numbering series is different to any other parts or assemblies in the model.

   

3. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Numbering settings > Numbering settings to open the Numbering Setup dialog box.
4. Ensure that the Column orientation check box is not selected, and then click Apply.

   

5. Select one of the anchor rods in the model.
6. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Perform numbering > Number series of selected objects.

   All parts with the AR prefix and start number at 1 are numbered.

7. Wait until the anchor rod numbering is complete.
8. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Numbering settings > Numbering settings to open the Numbering Setup dialog box.
9. Select the Column orientation check box, and then click Apply.
10. Select one of the steel columns in the model.
11. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Perform numbering > Number series of selected objects.

    All columns belonging to the same numbering series as the selected column are numbered.
