Set the following part numbering settings.

Plane Layer Margin

The margin for the plane position in mm. If orthogonal parts are situated in the same plane position (meaning a length, breadth or height value), the margin defines the bandwidth of their positions. All parts in this area are considered to be in the same plane and will get the same plane name.

Slanting Plane Layer Margin

Two slanted plates will be treated as situated in the same plane when the normalized difference of the two plates is less than this margin and the normalized distance between them is less than the Plane layer Margin. The Slanting Plane Layer Margin can have a maximum value of 1 which means that the difference in angle is 60 degrees in maximum. The margin can be calculated by sin(angle/2)*2. The default value is 0.0001 which means that the planes are almost parallel.

Note: The Slanting Plane Layer Margin should not be used to combine slanted plates with a large difference. There can be a big difference in the normalized Plane layer Margin distance when the two slanted plates are situated in the front or after-ship, so the result can turn out differently.

Plates All Same Name, Default

By default, plates get different panel names. When this setting is set to Enabled, all plates get the same panel name.

Brackets All Same Name Default

Normally all brackets get the same panel name. With this setting this can be disabled.

Shell Frames Same Name Default

Normally all shell frames get the same panel name. With this setting this can be disabled.

Foundation All Same Name Def.

By default, foundations get different panel names. When this setting is set to Enabled, all foundations get the same panel name.

Bracket Exclusion Start

The first bracket part number of a range of brackets to be excluded from the auto-numbering process. The last part number of the range is set with the Bracket Exclusion End setting.

Bracket Exclusion End

The last bracket part number of a range of brackets to be excluded from the auto-numbering process. The first part number of the range is set with the Bracket Exclusion Start setting.

Plane Name Prefix, Length

The prefix for the length direction plane. Used as the prefix of subpanel names in the WBD tree. The default value is L.

Plane Name Prefix, Breadth

The prefix for the breadth direction plane. Used as the prefix of subpanel names in the WBD tree. The default value is B.

Plane Name Prefix, Height

The prefix for the height direction plane. Used as the prefix of subpanel names in the WBD tree. The default value is H.

Excluded Panel Name Characters

Define the characters that will not be used in panel names. Valid characters are a-z and 0-9. Characters a-z must be given in alphabetical order.

Shell Plate Panel Name

Set the default panel name for shell plates.

Naming With Plane Layer

Define if the plane layer should be included in the part name or not. This setting is applicable only if the Logistics > Settings > Panel Numbering System setting is set to Area.

Bracket Relation Type

Determines the type of the bracket relation to be used when determining which panel name a bracket gets in automatic part numbering, but only when the Area method is used. Select one of the following settings:

• Ignore – The type of the bracket relation is not used in the automatic bracket panel numbering process.
• Profile – Only brackets with at least one relation to a profile are processed by automatic part numbering. If both sides of a bracket have a profile relation, the panel name of the first relation is assigned to the bracket.
• Plate – Only brackets with at least one relation to a plate are processed by automatic part numbering. If both sides of a bracket have a plate relation, the panel name of the first relation is assigned to the bracket.
• All – Only brackets with at least one relation to a plate or a profile are processed by automatic part numbering. If one side is related to a profile, this relation is used. If both sides have a relation to the same type (both sides related to a plate, or both sides related to a profile), the first relation is used.
• Plan view – The Planview variable, which can be defined in Label 1 of the bracket macro, will be processed by automatic part numbering when this setting is selected. When the Planview variable is defined, the bracket can be placed as a cross section bracket. The value of Planview determines whether the related part in plan view is the 1st or the 2nd relation of the bracket. Select the Connect setting when the value of Planview should not be used for connecting the bracket to the panel.
• Connect – All brackets are processed and will get their panel number from the related part indicated by the Connect variable in Label 1 of the bracket type macro. If this variable is not set within Label 1 of the type macro, the panel number is taken from the 1st relation.

Note: Brackets that are not processed according to one of these values will get a panel number based on their plane position – the Area method.
