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%

Part prefix, defined in the part properties in the property pane.

%PART_POS%

Part position number, defined by the start number (from part properties in the property pane) and the final position in that numbering series.

%PART_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 XS_VALID_CHARS_FOR_PART_POSITION_NUMBERS.

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.
