Manual Numbering Mode Overview

Manual numbering mode allows an even greater level of flexibility to match an even broader set of workflows and numbering preferences. Users can simply enter whatever number (and suffix) they want. Part references in the specification will still be synced and will automatically update when changes are made in the drawing tool. However, this mode does not benefit from some of the other automations – e.g. maintaining an order when renumbering or reordering figures. This mode also allows multiple parts to have the same number, at which point the system will provide a warning.

Select Manual Numbering for One Figure List

Open the Drawing Tool and expand the Parts Panel in the left-hand sidebar.
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.
Select the Manually number parts option for the figure list.
Confirm your selection in the dialog presented.
The parts in that figure list will remain the same, but can now be adjusted by typing in a desired part number.

Select Manual Numbering for All Figure Lists

Open the Drawing Tool and expand the Parts Panel (shown above).
Click the menu icon to the upper-right of the Parts Panel.
Select the Set All Figures to manually number parts option.
Confirm your selection in the confirmation dialog.
