Enter the counter’s initial value in the Counter format field (2). You can also insert a Delimiter (3) between the counter value and the Root name. After you have created new file names, click "Apply". New file names will be displayed in the New File Name column.



2. Now you can copy new file names to the Part Number field. Right click on New File Name column, and select "Copy values to" -> "Part Number".
