General numbering settings

Use the Numbering Setup dialog box to view and modify some general
numbering settings.

Option Description

Renumber all All parts get a new number. All information

on previous numbers is lost.

Re-use old Tekla Structures reuses the numbers of

numbers parts that have been deleted. These
numbers may be used to number new or
modified parts.

Check for If a separate standard-part model has been

standard parts set up, Tekla Structures compares the parts
in the current model to those in the
standard-part model.
If the part to be numbered is identical to a
part in the standard-part model, Tekla
Structures uses the same part number as in
the standard-part model.

Compare to The part gets the same number as a

old previously numbered similar part.

Take new The part gets a new number even if a similar

number numbered part already exists.

Keep number Modified parts maintain their previous

if possible numbers if possible. Even if a part or

Option Description

assembly becomes identical with another

part or assembly, the original position
number is maintained.
For example, you might have two different
assemblies, B/1 and B/2, in the model. Later
on you modify B/2 so that it becomes
identical with B/1. If the Keep number if
possible option is used, B/2 will maintain its
original position number when you renumber
the model.

Synchronize Use this setting when working in multi-user

with master mode. Tekla Structures locks the master
model model and performs a save, numbering, and
save sequence, so that all other users can
continue working during the operation.

Automatic If the main part of a drawing is modified and

cloning therefore gets a new assembly position, the
existing drawing is automatically assigned to
another part of the position.
If the modified part moves to an assembly
position that does not have a drawing, the
original drawing is automatically cloned to
reflect the changes in the modified part.

Holes The location, size, and number of holes

affects numbering.

Part name The part name affects numbering.

Beam The orientation of beams affects numbering

orientation of assemblies.

Column The orientation of columns affects

orientation numbering of assemblies.

Reinforcing Reinforcing bars affect numbering.

Embedded Sub-assemblies affect the numbering of cast

objects units.

Surface Surface treatments affect the numbering of
