XS_PART_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING
Category in Advanced options dialog box: Numbering
Use to have Tekla Structures use only letters in part numbers.
Note:
The advanced options XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING and XS_PART_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING override the advanced option
XS_SWITCH_POS_NUMBERS_FOR. XS_SWITCH_POS_NUMBERS_FOR has no impact on assembly and/or part
position numbers if you use XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING and/or XS_PART_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING.
Enter any combination of the following options:
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
|
|
Part prefix, defined in the part properties in the property pane. |
|
|
Part position number, defined by the start number (from part properties in the property pane) and the final position in that numbering series. |
|
|
Same as above, but with letters. Uses letters A – Z by default, but you can also define valid letters with the advanced option
|
The position number/ letter switch can also include a suffix defining the minimum number of digits (or letters), for example:
%PART_POS.3%. This example results in a first part number of 001, second 002 etc.
This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
