What version of NX, and are you running native NX or is NX running under a PLM/PDM system (such as teamcenter)?

You want to change the id symbols but not the partlist?

@SamSlivinski : No, I want the partslist count with steps of 1 insted of 10.
@jerry1423: In customer defaults the Increment is already "1" doesn't have effect on it.
also:
When i renumber the partslist ( e.g. : 18,19,20,21) and i add later another part, the new part gets itemnr: 31, instead of 22.

I'm fairly sure the setting you are looking for is controlled by TC, but I'm not working with a TC install at the moment so I can't confirm that.

When running in 'native mode' obviously NX is in charge of its own behavior, but once Teamcenter enters the picture all bets are off. Generally one of the expected benefits of having a PLM system like TC in place is to provide a centralized way to define, publish and enforce standards, like for example, how a Parts Lists (AKA BOM) is formatted and represented both on the Drawing and from withing the PDM system.

Per default the NX partslist uses the Teamcenter "Find No" and synchronizes that to the NX attribute "Callout". ( "find no" = "Sequence number" in older TC versions.)
The "Callout" is then used by the NX partslist as "PC No" ( Position number), thereby the 10,20,30 etc.
We have set it such that the NX partslist ignores the "Find no" in TC. I think, ( -a few years since i set this up...) that the trick is to make the parts list ignore the "callout" attribute.
1) Customer defaults "Increment = 1",
2) Edit the partslist column "PC NO" , it is default ( when running under TC):
Column type = Callout ( Which it must be.)
...
Default text = <W$=@CALLOUT>
Erase the text <W$=@CALLOUT> then select the "Column Type" and re-select "Callout"
The new "Default text" should now read "$~C" and the "PC No" is no longer connected to the "callout"-attribute but will increment with what is set in the customer defaults.
Right click this partslist and save it as a template.

Yes, we have broken the connection between the "Find no" and the NX - "PC No". , The PSE and the partslist still reports / contains the same data but no sync between Find no/ Pc no.
( It makes the partslist a bit more flexible...)
To my knowledge, : If you want to keep that connection, but get 1,2,3 instead of 10,20,30 you need to set up Teamcenter such that the "Find No" goes 1,2,3 instead of 10,20 etc
I don't think / know if it is possible to have NX "reduce" 10 -> 1 and thereby display "1" in the partslist.
