Setup for Automatic Naming of Production Sketches

The production sketch naming rule attribute /AUTO_SEQNO utilizes a name sequence (NSEQ) database. An NSEQ database has to be created, if this has not already been done for other reasons. The name sequence database is set up in the following way:

1. Create a new database of type Name Sequence.

   If Global is to be used, then one database must be created for each site.

2. Add the database to the appropriate MDB's.

   Read/Write access is required for Hulldesign.

   If Global is to be used then all name sequences must be defined manually via the .Net PML interface as follows:

3. Create a new name sequence.

4. Define an interval of valid numbers for the sequence by setting start number and maximum limit.

   It is essential that the interval does not overlap with the interval at another site. Sequence numbers may be in the range from 0 to 21477483647.

5. Repeat step 1 and 2 for the following name sequences:

   PPAN	Plane panel parts generation
   CPAN	Curved panel parts generation
   WCOG	Weight and centre of gravity report
   PARTL	Parts lists
   PSKETCH	Profile sketches
   CPSKETCH	Combined profile sketches
   PNEST	Profile nesting
   NEST3AX	3 axis nesting
   BENDTPL	Bending templates
   CBENDTPL	Cross bending templates
   JIGPILLAR	Jig pillars
   PLATEJIG	Plate jigs
