Changing the position order
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 7:11 pm
Q:
In an instrument schedule report, I have been unable to discover how I might order the positions to my taste. The default seems to have Electric 3 come before Electrics 2 and 1, but Electric 4 comes last. I have tried retitling the positions, but haven't discovered the sort pattern.
A:
Positions appear in their drawing order. You can use commands from the Format->Arrange menu to change this. You can also open the "Positions" report and drag the positions into a new order.
(The Auto-Arrange command can be handy because it puts all the symbols drawing order the same as their Instrument Schedule order allowing efficent use of the Select->Next Object/Previous Object commands.)
