Subnumber Individual Parts
Locate the autonumbered part you want to subunumber with an alphabetic suffix or a stencil associated with the part.
Note that for manually numbered parts, a subnumbering suffix may simply be typed into the part number field as part of the part number when the part is created.
Select the desired "Set number to" option from the menu available through the icon to the right of the part name in the Parts panel, the toolbar, the Element Info controls in the right-hand sidebar, or the on-canvas controls available when the stencil is double-clicked.
Note that as of v3.23.2, parts may be subnumbered beneath an unsubnumbered parent of the same number. I.e., display 204, 204a, 204b, etc. part numbers are now supported.
Parts will be subnumbered according to your selection.
Repeat for each part you want to include in a subnumbered set.
Note that if a part has been placed as a stencil on the drawing canvas, it can also be subnumbered using controls available to the right of the canvas when the stencil is selected.

Your selected set of parts will be subnumbered as indicated.
Remove Subnumbering from a Part
