you can sort by any column except item number -- right click on, for example, length column & choose SORT --Ascending or descending -- item numbers & balloons will auto update. I have not tried it yet -- but you might try adding another column & putting in item numbers you want in the order you want & the try sorting by that column.
you can also manually do this by unchecking the automatic option on the weldment cut lists & manually creating cut list folders & grouping the bodies (in the order you want it to appear in the table). This seems unrealistic as it requires thinking -- I know I don't want to do that! :-)
Ultimately we probably need to fillout the Enhancement request form to add the functionality to select a row & choose move up or down -- like you can with columns. I hope my first suggestion will work for you. please let us all know if it does so we can learn from anything you have done as well
I hope this helps Steve T.
yup I just did a quick test here -- adding another column is a really nice workaround.
you now have a reordered cut list.
Hope this helps Steve T.
Thanks for the info, I hadn't thought to mess with the cutlist in the drawing, I was trying to reorder the items from the part file, seemed some how..logical-lol. (to me at least)
Sw2006 has some nice new features in weldments, I wonder if the 'tweaked' this any...
