I am new to Innovator and have a need for a custom part numbering system and I'm hoping someone can help me in customising the following.
The system I have in mind is as follows:
XXX-YYYY-ZZ
Where XXX is a document type e.g. PCB assembly, PCB board, Mechanical assembly, Mechanical part, connector, switches etc. The part type to be chosen from a drop-down list and automatically filled in.
YYYY is then a sequential number starting from 00001 for each documented type.
ZZ is the current revision level.
So for example we can have the following part numbers:
200-0001-01 for a PCB assembly
300-0001-01 for a mechanical assembly
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Even i am new to Aras but i think one quick workaround should help you. I am not sure if it is correct way of doing it.
1. Create different sequence for each documenttype like PCB assembly, PCB board, Mechanical assembly, Mechanical part, connector, switches etc.
2. Create diffrent item type of each document type but don't give TOC View property.
3. Now create a document type itemtype as "PolyItem" and assign above different document type.
4. With this if you will be able to create different document type with different custom sequence.
