Hello everyone, I need some assistance in the highly discussed topic of part numbering. We have order which is mainly structural - plates, U-beams, etc. We get the drawings in pdf format from our client. They have pretty good numbering system, which goes like this: xxxx-yyy-zzz-rev.00. xxxx is the order number, yyy is the assembly group, zzz are the subassembly drawings. The parts in the BOM are without part numbering, because every part itself is drawn on the assembly drawing. There are some parts of course which do not need a drawing for example plate 10x200x100. My job is to create a dwg. drawing to some parts with irregular shape and to give them to outside company for cutting on CNC machine. So when I assign part number I use for example 1000-050-001 pos.1. Our client uses the same convention. This works fine until I have to assign a number for a part which is used in several assemblies(over 20 in my case).
I don't want to use 20 different part numbers for the same part, I want to simplify things. So how to number this part for my future reference, and for the outside company to which I must send some kind of list of the parts? And how to make this without getting in conflict with client's part numbering system? Generally speaking how to assign a part number in detailed assembly drawing(I'm not sure if this is how it's called) to item which is used in multiple assemblies?
