Hello
In a Solidworks welded model, is there a way to create an automatic numbering (excluding part number) of the list of all welded parts? (numbering that would be updated in the event of an evolution of the model).
Thank you in advance!

Hello @stro
Can you explain the purpose or problem of SolidWorks auto-numbering?
You can use SW's equation to create a new property from an equation.

Hello;
I'm perplexed too, Solidworks' native numbering already meets your objectives.
You can even change the organization with the BOM tools

Hello and thank you for your feedback,
I have just tried it, but without success.
I created a metal structure in a single part, consisting of several ' welded parts' .
Then, I dissociated the different mechanically welded elements using configurations (e.g. column 1, column 2...).
In the nomenclature of my first plan (e.g. post 1), a numbering of items appears.
In the one in my second plane (ex post 2), similar parts may not have the same item number.
I would therefore like each ' welded part' to have its own number that would be found in the different nomenclatures. I could do this by manually adding a property to each one, but not automatically.
I hope to make myself understood...
I didn't understand everything...
It would probably be more meaningful with screenshots...
" Similar " does not mean " strictly identical ", they will necessarily have a different number...
Wouldn't it be more practical to consider assemblies rather than configurations?
I tried both methods which each have their advantages.
For mechanical construction I use assemblies, for metal structures configurations.
In the example, we find the same 120x3 tube with a different article number.
Just work the bodies in the room (or manipulate the bodies)
So you can take out all the bodies and ask him to create a mechanically welded body.
Then the property of the bodies and for each body you indicate HEA100 / L200 etc...
Example: 
When you create mechanically welded multi-body, Sw creates folders per identical body. So one marker number per file.
-
Below SW recognizes that they are the same bodies
-
In the 1 x coordinate system (be careful to dissolve the part in the BOM options in the MEP)
3) I take the bodies out of the mechanically welded file
-
I tell him to create an article
-
And there, you have identical bodies, with different reference points in the nomenclature
-
Below the drawing has changed, the nomenclature incorporates the new markings.
And as before I imagine, you fill in the custom properties of each body
Thank you @FRED78, it's good to know.
But this method does not completely satisfy me.
In any case, thank you for the explanations 
Is trying with instance numbers (IDs)?

Si vos vue des mises en plan sont sur la même feuille, il est possible de lier la bulle de repère ver une autre Table:
For now, the quickest way I've found is to rename the welded parts one by one by numbering them. I have created a ' Part No. ' property in my BOM that links to these part names. It's not automatic and to be seen if my model is modified, but it does the job.
No, precisely, there are several sheets...
… That said, it's not impossible that the link can be made between several Nomenclatures on several pages, I've just never tried (Multipage being banned in our country)
Tu peux gagner du temps an passant par une macro:

Hello @Maclane
With us, the nomenclature is applied on several pages (in the same file) in assembly or multi-body. You just have to indicate in the property of the view the correct nomenclature.

Thank you @Maclane, I see that my request is not so simple and I don't understand why there is not a property dedicated to part numbering and which could be linked with MyCadTools tools like CuttingOptimization and SheetMetalManufacturing
