swapping two columns (family table)

When you add something to your family table, mark the column after which you want you new column to be placed, then use the insert - button and select column. Your next choice will be placed in that column. If you already have a column in the wrong position, a long way from where you want, it is probably easier to delete the comlumn and then reintroduce it using this method, rather than swapping one by one.

With version 2001 you can export the table to an EXCEL spreadsheet and re-import it back to Pro/E. Within EXCEL, you have all kinds of regular EXCEL functionality (like switching columns, introduce some equations etc.). Have you tried that?

Bertil,

thanks for the help, this was exactly what i was looking for. The method Tom mentioned with using excel has never worked for me as i have tried it in the past. Thanks again

Hi again using excel is fine except for sorting columns. If you do that, when you reintroduce the family table into Proe you get a message: Change in sort order will be lost! Apparently Bill Gates is not the only one who enjoys screwing his customers!
