Drawing Number

The drawing number set at DRWG level in the Drafting hierarchy is calculated by calling a different function previously to that provided. The reason for this is so that you can choose whether to use the old method or the new method using a Name Sequence (NSEQ) database.

Consequently, the new function looks for an NSEQ database but if the defaults are set to use the old method or the database does not exist, the old method is used.

When working in a Global project, you may wish to consider issuing a band of numbers by location and enable them to extract only unique numbers.
