Every part has a separate "Information" field — free-form text that travels with the part through the entire production cycle.
Where the information is visible
- In the part card — to the project author.
- On the part label at packing — to the workshop operator.
- In the order’s summary print forms — to the manager.
- In the change log — for audit.
When to use
- Non-standard processing requirements ("do not drill from side X").
- Assembly hints ("joins with part 12").
- Markings for the client ("show in the shop").
The field can be edited any time before the order is closed.
Position
Separate from "Information", the part editor has a "Position" field — continuous numbering of the part within the project. Unlike the free-form "Information" text, this is a numeric identifier for quickly referencing the part in correspondence, on the drawing, and in print forms.
