Initially, a new engineering item will not get a revision number if you select the New engineering item has no revision number check box. You can choose between only entering the start value, or always manually filling in a revision number. Your choice determines the value you select in the Incrementation method for engineering item revision field. For the start value, indicate how the revision number is to be incremented from now on. Select 'No method' if you always want to enter the revision number yourself.

By default, a new engineering item will be assigned the engineering group you enter in the Default value for engineering group field.

Every engineering item revision is assigned a revision number. In the Incrementation method for engineering item revision field, choose how new revision numbers are to be determined:

Method	Assigned revision numbers
No method	No revision number will be suggested for a new engineering item revision. You will manually fill in the revision numbers.
Numeric (starting at 0)	0, 1, 2, etcetera
Numeric (starting at 1)	1, 2, 3, etcetera
Two-digit number code (starting at 00)	00, 01, 02, etcetera
Two-digit number code (starting at 01)	01, 02, 03, etcetera
Three-digit number code (starting at 000)	000, 001, 002, etcetera
Three-digit number code (starting at 001)	001, 002, 003, etcetera
Alphanumeric lowercase	a, b, c, etcetera
Alphanumeric uppercase	A, B, C, etcetera

If you select the New engineering item revision is editable check box, the revision number assigned can be changed. If you chose 'No method' in the Incrementation method for engineering item revision field, the check box is selected automatically. In that case, it must be possible to change the revision, as no revision number is assigned by default.

Use the Part coding field to determine the code to be assigned to new parts created using the Synchronize engineering/part process.

If you select the Use net dimensions check box, the quantity, length, width, and height values are retrieved from the engineering BOM (Bill of Material) and used as the net dimensions in the part or production calculation during synchronization.

If the dimensions on a BOM line of a part or production file are the same as the net dimensions, the dimensions will automatically change when the net dimensions in the engineering BOM are changed. This is not the case when the dimensions are different from the net dimensions.

Select the Use position number check box to copy the line number from the engineering BOM to the Position field in the part or production calculation. This position number does not affect the line number of the part or production calculation.
