Via dw files, you can create special views for 2D derivations.^[49]

As of v9.08 SP0, for assembly parts, position numbers can be displayed, namely both in the bom table and in the 2D views.

Position numbers are only assigned to parts which are relevant for the bill of material. This are exactly those parts, which have got the attribute Transfer to Bill of Material inside the assembly configuration.

In the PARTdataManager Part view these parts are displayed in black in the Assembly window, not relevant parts are displayed in gray.

Position numbers are dynamically generated. Identic NBs get the same position number.

Position numbers are addressed by $POSNR. in the table specification.

Position numbers for the 2D view are created in PARTdataManager, in the Dimensionings dialog area. Detailed information on this is found under Section 7.15.6, “ PART-ANNOTATION ” in eCATALOGsolutions Manual.
