PDXpert PLM Software: Part Type configuration tutorial

A Part Type* defines the properties and behavior of part records in PDXpert software. These attributes include number and revision formats, whether the part can accept another item on its structure, whether file attachments are permitted, and default attribute values.

This tutorial shows how to automatically assign a part number from the Identifier Sequences collection, which may specify a category prefix (such as HW- or 912 for the "hardware" category). It also shows how to assign a part naming hint (called a text template) that guides users in applying your preferred part naming convention: Hardware, ...

*Note: You'd use a similar approach in setting up the identifiers and text templates for document types and change forms.

This tutorial applies to the current PDXpert software release. Contact us if you need assistance with an earlier release.
