Summary


Details

The NX Parts List shows incremental Item No's as 10, 20, 30, etc.

Editing the Style of the Part List shows that "Initial Callout" = 1 and

"Increment" = 1.

How do set the order of the Item No's to 1,2,3, etc?

Solution

Analysis:

----------

For the current order to occur the following is true:

1) The TeamCenter Express preference "PS_new_seqno_mode" is set to a value

which generates the 10, 20, 30, etc, sequence. The default values for this

preference is "New". The increment of 30 is to allow for items to be inserted

in the BOM when building the assembly.

2) The NX Manager "Callout Management" Customer Default [NX Manager -->

Miscellaneous --> General] is set to DB_SEQUENCE_NO. Therefore, the item

numbers in NX are driven by the TeamCenter sequence numbers.

3) This behavior also requires that the CALLOUT attribute value for the Item

No. column in the Parts List is set to "<W$=@CALLOUT>", in order to read the

DB_SEQUENCE_NO's from TeamCenter Express.

Thus, for the NX Parts List to generate an order of 1, 2, 3, etc, the

CALLOUT attribute value in the Item No. column needs to be edited and set to

"$~C".

Solution:

----------

1) Right click on the NX Parts List Item No. column and choose Style.

2) Select the columns tab.

3) Enter "$~C" in the Default Text entry box and choose OK.

4) Confirm that the Item No. column now shows the desired 1, 2, 3, order.
