Used to pre-set how the automatic positioning of component parts has to be carried out.

Accessed from:
  • Dialog: Partlist Creation > Equal Part Settings > Edit Compare Criteria tool icon
  • Dialog: Positionflags and Positioning > Steel Positioning tab > Automatic Positioning tool icon

You determine which parts are equipped with a position number at all and according to which guidelines the positioning is carried out. If the proposed position numbers don’t meet your requirements, you will find a solution here in most cases.
