STANDARD ASSY MANUAL RENUMBER

I'm trying to create standard plate assemblies using manual numbering to reflect our standard part numbers.  When I renumber it is duplicating my manual numbers with plates I've already renumbered.  For instance, I renumber a plate ES000837A  with a PL 3/4"x5 1/2"x7  when renumber another PL 3/4"x6"x7" to ES000837V it changes the number on my ES000837A to ES000837V.  They're do not have the same dimensions?

Rather than do it manually, you should try the standard part numbering method. For this you need to create some template files with the part numbers assigned and then the standard part numbering selected under the numbering dialog. http://www.graitec.co.uk/blog/entry/a-guide-to-advance-steel-standard-parts

I'm forcing/manually numbering to meet company standards for a standard assy template file.  I will only be using this type of numbering for (4) drawings.  I'm unable to view your linked document.

Just search for Advance steel standard part numbering, you should find the graitec blog. Dumped the text here: A Guide To Advance Steel Standard Parts General Advance Steel Aleck Giles Friday, 15 June 2018 1603 Hits Many companies that use Advance Steel have certain common parts or items that they use in lots of projects. One example may be using a small connecting lug in a railing, or perhaps they try to use the same end plate on all joints. By doing this, they can use identical components in multiple projects, which means they can even keep some in stock, ready for use when required. For these users, It would be very helpful if these parts could be easily identified within projects, and given the same part numbers all the time. This can be achieved using Standard Parts, which I will demonstrate in this blog. advance steel standard parts 1 Typically, Advance Steel uses a new numbering sequence in every project, so these identical parts could get a different number in every project. However, the simple standard parts system ensures that these common parts are recognised and are always given the same number in every project. The first step is to simply create a library file. This is a model file containing one example of each standard part or assembly that you want, and you can copy and paste these from existing projects if you like. Make sure that these have the part and assembly numbers you want to use. Save this file in the path C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 2019\GBR\Shared\StandardPartTemplate\ advance steel standard parts 2 Next, when working in your project and using the Numbering command go to the “Standard Parts” page of the numbering dialog. Locate your library file in the list of drawings and tick the boxes by the name to search that file for matching parts. Any parts found in your project that match a part or assembly in the selected library files will receive the same number as they have in the library file. It doesn’t matter how the parts were created as long as the final net geometry matches the standard part. advance steel standard parts 3 If you are looking for extra functionality for your structural projects, the Graitec PowerPack for Advance Steel is the perfect add-in product.

Personally, this software is so completely and utterly frustrating that it's Friday and I'm doing everything can to not walk out the door and not look back.  The lack of any technical support other than this forum is woefully lacking but who cares this license has been paid for.    Thank you for attempting to assist John.

John- Tried to doing it the way you suggested and my test drawing is completely labeled incorrectly.  Is there anyway I can email these to you so you can tell me where the disconnect is?  Thank you.
