Additional version numbers |
Scroll |
If model versions in addition to structural differences have variable characteristics that may be inherent in several versions (type of coating, additional configuration of the product with components, etc.), then additional numbers are created in the model.
Each additional number corresponds to a specific set of variable data. This data is set as property values for additional numbers.
The list of additional numbers is created using the Document manager.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Open the Document manager using Version comntrol 
command.
2.In the Manager tree enable the item Additional numbers 
.
3.On the Manager toolbar click Create additional number of the version 
button.
The new additional number will appear in the Manager. It will be generated according to the settings. If required, you can change the settings. These changes are taken into account only when creating new additional numbers.
4.Assign the values of the properties of the additional number in the cells of the Manager table. To do this, first establish columns with the required properties using Column settings 
and Delete column 
buttons (this configuration is described in the section Versions in the Documents manager).
If required, you can add columns with external variables and assign the values of these variables. The steps for adding external variables and setting their values are similar to those described in section Assigning values to custom variables.
5.In the same way create all the necessary additional numbers and set the values of their properties.
The list of additional numbers is displayed in the Manager as a table. Values in table cells can be entered manually. If required, you can change the additional numbers created.
Besides, you can change the order of the additional numbers in the list. The steps for changing the position of an additional number are similar to those described in section Changing the version position in the list of versions.

To create additional numbers within the model, you can use the list of additional numbers of another model saved in the ods or xls file format. In this case, the numbers and values of their properties are added from the file to the current model. If the model has a number identical to the number contained in the file (not only the numbers, but also the values of their properties match), then the number from the file is not added to the model. The steps for creating additional numbers using this method are similar to those described in section Using a versions list of a different model. |
6.Click OK to close the Document manager.
The variable data corresponding to the additional numbers are shown in a graphic or text document in the form of the additional numbers. To create this table, you can use the model or associative view of the model created in the drawing.
The table of additional numbers and the table of versions are created using the same Create version table 
command.
In order to create a table of additional numbers in a graphic or text document as a result of running the command, in the table settings dialog select the table type Table of additional numbers .
All steps for creating the table of additional numbers are similar to the steps for creating a table of versions. Working with the created table of additional numbers is similar to working with the table of versions.
