Insert or edit extra catalog part numbers on to the currently selected component or footprint.
You can add up to 99 additional part numbers to any schematic or panel component on-the-fly. These multiple BOM part numbers appear as subassembly part numbers to the main catalog part number in the various BOM and component reports.
On the Insert/Edit Component or Panel Layout - Component Insert/Edit dialog box, Catalog Data section, click Multiple Catalog.
The additional catalog part numbers are saved on the symbol as MFGn/CATn/ASSYCODEn attribute values. The "n" is the sequential code value "01" through "99" selected in the top list box. If these attributes are not present on the symbols, AutoCAD Electrical toolset saves the information as Extended Entity Data (Xdata) on the block insert.
