Question:
How to change the default part prefixes? I want to change the default concrete prefix.
Answer:
You can set the prefix and the start number in the user.ini file with the following advanced options:
XS_CONCRETE_PART_NUMBERING_PREFIX=
XS_CONCRETE_PART_NUMBERING_START_NUMBER=
Changing these only affects newly created parts and not existing ones.
The only trick to change this for the existing concrete parts is to use the old steel Beam Properties dialog box (open it by holding down the CTRL key while double-clicking a steel beam) and set the part prefix (only that and no other properties checked) from there.
