We are currently implementing PDMLink 10.2 and are having some big discussions on numbering schemes. Our current numbering scheme outside of a PDM system is a 7 digit numeric sequence followed by a -1 OR a -2 (if it is an opposite part). We know that you can add a suffix to the end of a part number, and possibly tie this to an optional attribute that will ask upon creation "is this part opposite" (if set as yes, it will append a -2 instead of a -1). Is there a better way of dealing with this?
Note the base number cannot be different, so it could look something like:
1234567-1
1234567-2
Whats the process of having your numbering scheme look for that attribute?
