AutoNumber Format Options – AutoNumber Tab

Normal Number Assignment vs Replace DWG At the top of the [ AutoNumber ] tab are two radio buttons: Normal Number Assignment and Replace DWG :

These settings control whether or not the AutoNumber Format is designed to generate a new part number ( Normal Number Assignment ) or replace an existing DWG number ( Replace DWG ) through a promotional process. Activating the Replace DWG option will result in the rest of the AutoNumber options to disappear, as well as most of the tabs, as they are not relevant to the Replace DWG type of AutoNumber Format :

Designating a specific AutoNumber Format for replacing DWG files (using a promotional process) is covered in detail in Appendix C of this manual). The rest of this chapter covers AutoNumber Formats details using the Normal Number Assignment option.
