To set part use priority

Assign Part Use Priority

Specify which component to use when two or more components of the same type have identical sizes.

To assign part-use priority

  1. In the Spec Editor, on the Spec Sheet pane, in the Part Use Priority column, click a yellow warning icon (for example: a Bolt Set group that has both stud bolts and lug bolts in overlapping sizes).
  2. In the Part Use Priority dialog box, under Assign Part Use Priority, in the Size Conflicts list, click a size.
  3. In the Spec Part Use Priority list, click a part.
  4. Click the up and down arrows to move the part up or down the list.
  5. Select the Mark as Resolved check box for each resolved size conflict.

    When all conflicts are resolved for a part, the yellow warning icon changes to a green dot.

    Note:

    You can press CTRL+A to select all part sizes in the Size Conflicts list and select Mark as Resolved to mark all conflicts as resolved.
