Setting Component References for multiple items

Hi,

I'm hoping to find a way to batch change the component reference value for multiple parts in an assembly.

For example - if there are multiple instances of a component in an assembly, I would like to set the component reference for each of those instances to be the same (e.g. "1").  As is, I am able to go through and manually change each component, but this is time consuming for large bills.  Selecting multiple components and opening the component properties window doesn't work.  The component reference value is being sent to Teamcenter as an item line number - so if I have multiple instances of the same component in a bill, and the line numbers are all the same, the lines may be combined.

Hopefully someone out there has an idea.

Thanks,

Brad
