(OP)
is there a way to change the default item numbers in the bom(with out maunual typing it in). example- instead of starting with item "1" would like to change it to start with "200", "300". We are doing large
machines & for detailing we have multiple people detail different sections, so it wouild be nice on each section to not always start from "1".
thanks

RE: BOM
2. Add the new Custom File Property ("ItemNUM" or "Item") to every part in existing assemblies.
3. For New projects: Add the Custom File Property ("ItemNUM" or "item") to your Part Template. See help for "document template."
4. Step 2 above means you will no longer get automatic balloon numbering anymore. Balloon number is tied to the original "Itemno" column, which apperently you don’t want, because that number can often change. Instead, perform all ballooning using only custom text. That is, use split circle balloons with custom text above (where you manually type item) and custom text below (where you manually type sheet).
This method has the advantage that you have absolute control over your file property "Item" So you can maunally change your numbers if for some reason an overlap in numbers accidentally takes place between designers.
Hope this helps,
Anyone have any better ideas?????
