US Mark Numbering dialog

Used to issue component part numbers according to a US drawing standard.

These marks (mostly consisting of sheet number, component part code and a continuous index) serve for identification of the workshop drawings of the parts within the model and within the parts lists.

As in practice, each of these marks has an individual structure; they are based on a definition file describing the structure and value range of the marks. In the settings, you can select the current definition file to be used under 'US-Mark Numbering”.

Opens when the Insert 2D button is clicked when the Use US Mark Number option is set in the Detail Center Settings Insert dialog.

Tip: This dialog can be docked beside the DetailCenter for convenience.

Dialog Controls

The active fields depend on the default settings in the definition file.

For each new inserted detail a component part index is counted up according to definition file. However, this index can be changed at any time.

The resulting number (e.g., A1) will now be entered in the model into the field ’Shipping Number’ of shape characteristics and in the 2D drawing into the field ‘Shipping Number of Position Flag’. The position flag display is changed to ‘Shipping Number’.
