Question

Generated Number or Auto Number Off

May I ask your opinion on "Object Initialization Rules" in regards to
numbering?



What are the pros/cons to the default "set the number to a generated
number" or changing it to "set auto number to off"





<attrvalue id="number"&lt;br"/>algorithm="com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.revisionControlled.server.impl.N
umberGenerator">


<arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:EPM_seq:10:0}</arg>

</attrvalue>



with



<attrconstraint id="number"&lt;br"/>algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints">


<arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:EPM_seq:10:0}</arg>

</attrconstraint>





Thanks in advance,

A bit confusing, but both are actually needed.

Need to null it in the top section of file, between
<attrvalue>
</attrvalue>

and also in the constraints section between
<attconstraint>
</attconstraint>

I've seen the "how to" on this presented over time by PTC at least a half dozen ways. Would be good to have one standard.
