Select Objects with Different Part Numbers

This tool selects and highlights only a single object of each group of elements with the same assembly or single part mark (depending on the Single Parts / Assemblies switch).

Note: Objects that were previously highlighted in red will be kept. To remove the highlight, first clear marked objects. See Unmark objects.

If the Drawing - Single Part tool is called, a shop drawing for each position number group is created. Without this command, each part is detailed as many times as the parts exist in the model if the system default is set to allow duplicate drawings.

Note: This command is not required if creating drawings using a drawing process as the process automatically filters out a single instance of each part mark.

Access the command

In the Output tab Part marks panel, click (Select objects with different part numbers).

Command line: _AstM5CommEqualPartsOnePartOutOf

Select objects with different part numbers

Individual parts for each part number should be selected for drawing creation if done manually rather than by a process.

1. In the Output tab Part marks panel, switch to the single part or assembly.
2. In the Output tab Part marks panel, click (Select objects with different part numbers).

• An element for each part mark in the model is selected and highlighted in red.
