WindChill Sequence Number Problem

[MC_12915219]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: Cant Retrieve the sequence number and its really pissing me off

Description:

Hey,
How can I retrieve the sequence number for a WT.Part or WT.Document in Windchill using the API?
When I create a WT.Part, the number is generated automatically, but I can't find a method to get the next number in the sequence. I'm using Info.Engine. Any suggestions on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just curious.. why do you need the next number, before it's created?

If someone happens to create a WTPart just half a second after your query, the number you think is the next number will already be taken.
