RENUMBER ELEMENT

 

This function allows the user to renumber all the elements in the database. There are two options available: SEQUENCE or BY PART.

 

SEQUENCE

The user inputs the starting number in the POP-UP dialog window (default is 1). The numbers of all the elements are renumbered sequentially from the starting number.

 

BY PART

A DYNAFORM Question window appears, Figure 5.3.22.

eta/DYNAFORM prompts:

                                 ENTER STARTING ELEMENT NUMBER FOR PART: xxx

 

and displays a dialog box for the user to enter the starting element number of this   part. 

 

  Once a number has been entered, the program will confirm with the following prompt:

 This procedure will be repeated for every part in the database.
