NX CALLOUTS (PC NO) AUTOMATIC ASIGN, CONFIG,ETC

[EdgarQuintana]

Hi Everybody,

I'm fairly new with NX and self trained (which makes it even worst). I'm having a huge headache trying to solve something that I'm sure must be really easy to fix. Here's the short story.

I've received a set of files from a vendor. For some reason when opening the main assembly drawing, NX re-assigned all CALLOUT numbers to all parts to 1 (Why?) causing the part list to look like this.

1 | - | 408
PC NO | PART NAME | QTY

When I manually change the callout to 1,2,3,4..... and update part list, It will put all callouts back to 1 (argh!). I don't want to use a custom attribute everything time i create a part list (specially for large assemblies) I'm sure NX has the capability to automatically assign unique identifiers to each part. I just don't know how to get there.

Help please!!

I think that the key field for the parts list is set wrongly.
It's hard to explain but I made a video a while back that covers parts lists and explains what the key field is:
