Can anyone tell me how IsoDraw keeps up with the AUTOID numbers? Also is there a way to customize this number?

Any IsoDraw experts out there that can assist in this?

I don't believe there's any PTC folks from that group on here, so you may want to open a case with them instead?

I don't see a method to do so. Can you explain the need? Perhaps there's another approach.

Trevor,

There are several people the modify the same illustrations on the platform and there has been a concern that the AUTIOID number would duplicate and there could possibly be problems in the IETM. So I was looking for a way to change the prefix AUTOID to something like TW vice AUTOID and then the ID would always be unique to the illustrator that worked on the drawing.

Haven't found anything to allow this. But I have to admit I've only seen one duplicate ID in the 6+ years we've been using and that file was fairly screwed up anyways.

Could you utilize a different attribute (or create your own) that you could then control? You could then use the AUTOID value, strip off the first seven characters, and place it in your new field. Macro required of course, but another approach.
