XS_CAST_UNIT_POSITION_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING
Category in Advanced options dialog box: Numbering
Use this advanced option to define the contents of the cast unit position number.
Do not change this advanced option after you have created single-part, assembly, or cast unit drawings, if you are using cloning. It may partially separate the drawings from the part they represent, causing the drawings to be flagged as deleted and other drawings to be cloned after the next numbering.
The options are:
Option |
Description |
---|---|
%CAST_UNIT_PREFIX%
|
Cast unit prefix, defined in the part properties in the property pane. |
%CAST_UNIT_POS%
|
The running cast unit position number, starting from the start number defined in the part properties in the property pane. |
%CAST_UNIT_POS_WITH_LETTERS%
|
Same as above, but with letters. Uses letters A – Z by default, but you can also define valid letters with the advanced option
|
|
User-defined attribute of the cast unit or cast unit main part. If the attribute is defined for the cast unit, it will be used. If it is not defined, the main part attribute will be used. You can also define that only the user-defined attribute of the main part will be used, for example

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
Number of characters
You can define the number of characters by adding a period and the required number to the end of the options
%CAST_UNIT_POS%
and
%CAST_UNIT_POS_WITH_LETTERS%
. For example,
%CAST_UNIT_POS_WITH_LETTERS.3%
will result in three letters for every cast unit, starting from
AAA
.
Example
If you set the advanced option to
%CAST_UNIT_PREFIX%/%CAST_UNIT_POS.3%
, the result will be
A/001
.
