Assign Part Names : CP_PARTASSIGN – CADPower Command

Key Features include:

1. Assign Part Names to Objects

Attach a custom part name (string) to any selected object.
Helps in identifying, grouping, and managing different components in a drawing.

2. Generate Part-Based Quantity Tables

Counts the number of occurrences of each assigned part name.
Generates a simple part name vs. quantity table for quick reference.
Forms the basis for a structured Bill of Materials (BOM).

3. Works with Multiple Object Types

Supports assignment to lines, polylines, circles, blocks, splines, and other CAD entities.
Works well for assembly drawings, mechanical parts, architectural components, and fabrication layouts.

4. Enhances Data Organization and Reporting

Makes it easier to filter, sort, and count specific parts in a drawing.
Allows for easy part tracking and cost estimation.

5. Seamless Integration with CADPower’s BOM and Reporting Tools

Works with CP_BOM, CP_TILECOUNT, and CP_LINEQTY for comprehensive material estimation.
Helps in creating structured reports for procurement and manufacturing.

Ideal Applications
