Part Numbers

Is it possible or is there a 3rd party app that allows the automatic generation of part numbers with each new document e.g. instead of a verbose name a numerical value such as XXXXXXX-XXX that is generated in succession with each new part or assembly created.

    Its possible to do this with the API. You could setup a webhook that is triggered on new part of assembly creation and then have the API generate a PN and assign it. Webhooks are like triggers or event listeners that can be setup when certain actions happen. The trigger a message to a 3rd party app that can then generate the PNs and assign them to the parts/elements/etc.
