A new Configurable Numbering Schemes capability is now available with the Fusion Manage Extension<\/a>, providing product manufacturers the ability to tailor the automated item numbering of the Manage Extension to comply with company standards.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is automated numbering? <\/h3>\n\n\n

As organizations design products, it is common practice to identify each part, assembly, drawings, etc., with a unique number. This number helps to drive clarity throughout a component\u2019s lifecycle as it flows through various processes such as change management, purchasing, manufacturing, and quality control while aiding in collaboration between both internal and external stakeholders.\u202fParticipants in these processes regularly use these numbers to ensure there is a common understanding of which component is being referenced, as well as its related assets.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the same number is accidentally assigned to different components, several issues can result downstream, such as parts being overlooked with change management, sourcing the wrong items, and the wrong geometry being used for manufacturing. Manually assigning numbers to components may also lead to costly challenges due to human error. To help you be more productive while guarding against these challenges, the Manage Extension<\/a> now provides an automated numbering solution that creates unique numbers for each component within a design using a configured numbering scheme.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
