1. How can I specify a part uniquely (send an identifier) for communication purposes?


The MIDENT is a text string, which uniquely identifies each part. You can send this string to anyone via e-mail whereby the recipient can open the specified part in his application.

In order to determine the MIDENT of a certain part proceed as follows:

  1. Open the part and in the Extras menu, click on the command Open part by MIDENT.

    Open part by MIDENT

    Open part by MIDENT

    -> The same-named dialog box opens.

  2. Copy the MIDENT into the clipboard and send it via e-mail for example.

Opening of the specified part on recipient side

  1. In the Extras menu, click on the command Open part by MIDENT.

    -> The same-named dialog box opens.

  2. Paste the text string into the dialog box.

  3. Click on Ok.

    -> The desired part is opened in the Part view.
