Structured

First Level assigns a simple integer value to direct children.

Minimum Digits provides control to set the minimum number of digits displayed for item numbering. The range is fixed from 1 to 6 digits

All Levels provides full expanded numbering. This option provides a delimiter that works in conjunction with expanded items. Child items receive indented concatenated numbering.

Delimiter Sets a delimiter for structured item numbering. This option restarts numbering for each level.

Parts Only

Numbering: Numeric numeric text.

Minimum Digits provides control to set the minimum number of digits displayed for item numbering. The range is fixed from 1 to 6 digits.

Alpha provides full expanded numbering. This option provides a delimiter that works in conjunction with expanded items. Child items receive indented concatenated numbering based on the same rules as in parts lists today.

Case Select upper or lower

Structured (legacy)

Inheritance Determines if nested levels in a parts list inherit changes made to the item value of the parent assembly (for example, if the assembly item value changes from 1 to A, the nested parts change from 1.1, 1.2, to A.1, A.2).

Delimiter Sets a delimiter for structured item numbering.

Parts only (legacy)

View properties are not applicable for Parts only (legacy)
