expession numbering in nx603

expession numbering in nx603

(OP)
when I startup from new. File new, model template in the empty part a look at the expression editor - filter on all-
no expression. Then I create a simple block. In the expression editor three expressions are listed starting with p6,p7,p8, -> why it doesn't start with p1,p2,p3 ???. Inserting a new hole the expression numbering jumps to p52 an the position expression starts at p119. Why ?? Is there a reason ? Is this controlled by a setting?
thx in ad

RE: expession numbering in nx603

From Siemens

The problem where a new sketch in a new partfile starts P values at P9 instead of P0 is working correctly.

The indexes for system expressions are monotonically increasing by design. We thought it would be confusing otherwise. If we reused these indexes whenever they were released by a deletion then the system expressions would be difficult to navigate since they would be labeled in a somewhat random fashion from the users perspective. For example, if you created BLOCK(121) with system expressions p99, p100, p101 and then deleted BLOCK(5) then when you create BLOCK(122) you would get the system expressions p10, p11, p12 just released. Then creating BLOCK(123) you would get system expressions p102, p103 and p104.

This approach also makes it easier for external automation programs to track system expressions.

Using the Blank Template does start with p0, p1, p2.
