Autonumbering Mode Overview

Autonumbering mode maintains all of the functionality of the previous numbering scheme but with a greater level of flexibility. Numbers still default to a “by 2” (x2) increment, but now you can change that to other increments: x1, x4, x5, and x10. When reordering, the numbers will maintain the set multiple for that part. For instance, you can set a number to x10 to always maintain the part number ending in 0 even when it is moved around to different locations in the parts list.

We believe this mode will address a majority of the workflows that users have described to us. However, if not, that’s why we added a Manual numbering mode.

Select Autonumbering for One Figure List

  1. Open the Drawing Tool and expand the Parts Panel in the left-hand sidebar.


  2. Click the Part Numbering Mode control in the upper-right corner of the desired figure parts list.



    Note that parts are collected into lists for each figure and that the numbering mode will be applied to the entire figure list.

  3. Select the Autonumber parts option for the figure list.

  4. Confirm your selection in the dialog presented.


  5. The parts in that figure list will be autonumbered by Rowan based on the figure number and parts list location.


    Autonumbering can be further customized by changing the part numbering increment.

Select Autonumbering for All Figure Lists

  1. Open the Drawing Tool and expand the Parts Panel (shown above).

  2. Click the menu icon to the upper-right of the Parts Panel.


  3. Select the Set All Figures to autonumber parts option.

  4. Confirm your selection in the confirmation dialog.


Now What?
