Object Numbering
This section summarizes the out-of-the-box numbering schemes and explains how to make changes to numbering schemes. Numbering schemes control how numbers are generated for parts, baselines, documents, and change objects. Each object class has its own numbering scheme.
For all Windchill solutions, a rules load file sets the initial numbering rules for documents, CAD documents, dynamic documents, parts, baselines, and change objects. These rules affect the following:
• Documents, CAD documents, dynamic documents, parts, baselines, and change objects created from within a product, library, organization, or site context (if Windchill PDMLink, Pro/INTRALINK 9.1, or Servigistics Arbortext Content Manager is installed).
* 
Autonumbering must be turned on for the Dynamic Document subtype of the wt.epm.EPMDocument type and for Dynamic Document subtypes. For more information, see Dynamic Document Numbering.
• Documents, CAD documents, and parts created from within a project, program, organization, or site context (if Windchill ProjectLink is installed).
You can view and edit the rules that are being used from the Object Initialization Rules table.
For detailed information about using object numbering in your Windchill solution, see Changing Numbering Schemes.
The following topics provide some of the details on the out-of-the-box site numbering schemes, creating additional numbering sequences, and example rules. For details on creating a rule, see Creating Numbering Scheme Rule Content.
