Can we add multiple rows while using New Multiple Part option in Windchill?

[jvadalia-2]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: We want a manual input value for creating a large Part Structure. Where may be more that 500 new Parts should be created at once. Later we can modify the attributes and once completed can directly create BOM from there.

Description:

Current New Multiple Part creation functionality includes adding 5 rows at once. So to create thousands of items at once it will take lot of time.

This is required because part number we have to keep in sequence for all parts.

If we use 5 rows. there could be a possibility that some other user adds parts during that time and automatically system will not take number in sequence.

So if there is any preference or some kind of code which can be written to change the row adding behavior can help.

You can refer screenshot to understand what i mean.

Hello @jvadalia-2 

There is no option to add a number of rows as you would like to...,

I would recommend to use an import from a spreadsheet. You can specify all rows as you need and the auto-generated number will be generated during the import phase if the autogenerating number is turned on.. 

You can download an spreadsheet example from your system . 

Then just remove all numbers, revisions and lifecycle states

also you can write all attributes as you need one by one.

Then just use import from spreadsheet in the folder.

check import results in a import job monitor.

Thanks for the Help it works perfect, when keeping number column empty, as it is automatically generated.

It is a great help.

Thanks a lot.
