Common part information is the same for every version. It describes the form, fit, and function that the part performs in any assembly where it is used. The database object that stores common part information is sometimes referred to as the part master.

A part is uniquely identified by the Number attribute; no other part can have the same part number. The format of your part numbers is different from any other company. Windchill provides the ability to define your unique numbering scheme in your system.
