Update part in layout.

I'm totally finished my design, and have been asked by my customer to add their part number to my assembly drawing. None of my parts in my layout have a text field to support it. I assume I need to revise my library parts to support receiving a new netlist with the correct customer part number.

My question is, how do I set up the schematic and layout parts in order for the schematic customer part number (that field is called "CUST_PN" in the schematic)? Do I simply add a text field to my layout part with a matching text field, and place it on the "User Part Number" and on "Assembly_Top" layer?

You'll need to edit your footprints and add a placeholder (layout - Labels - user Part Number) and add PN or some such text, positioned where you want it placed. Update the footprints (Place - Update Symbols) so that the placeholder in now in the board. In the schematic before you create the netlist click on the setup button and edit the allegro.cfg file and add a new ComponentDefinitionProps that is CUST_PN=PART_NUMBER. Save this and create the netlist and import into the design. You should now see the Part Number as part of your layout if you turn on the correct subclass in PCB Editor.
