I'm trying to create multiple serial number schemes that all write to the variable "Number". We currently have three different types of files that have thier own part number scheme:
Is the only way to do this is to buy a third-party add-in? Like Pigeonhole?
Mark,
You can create a serial number for each of your schemes but assign it to one variable. Perhaps I don't understand your question.
Michael,
I guess my question is, how do I create the control logic on the data card to select the proper serial number scheme? I currently have radio buttons for each type of part on the card.
Thanks,
Mark
I see. I have tried but have never been able to do what you're trying to do. What we did was create an EPDM template for each serial number scheme. The user selects which type of file to create.
That's what I was affraid of. Thanks for your help!
If you cannot use PigeonHole, you could have different cards.
If you kept all of your Tooling files in one direcotry, Purchased in another, etc...then each directory can have its own unique card and thus its own serial number counter.
