maxbowman Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi all, I'm I've been drawing up some signal follows for media systems, and then (using a connectCAD) making a worksheet...My issue is trying to sort that worksheet...I normally do light plots so i just use LW for my paperwork, so its been a little bit since I've used the worksheets, but in the past i remember sort to be a snap....I know I'm supposed to drag the sort function to the column, but I can't get it to un-gray, and allow me to use it....I am sure I'm missing some super dumb simple step, but for the life of me I can't figure it out....any ideas?

Hippocode Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 You can only use it on a database row. If not it will be greyed out. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If the row numbers have a decimal point, i.e. 4.3, then click on a row header. The sort ascending, sort descending, and sum icons will become selectable. Drag one to the row you want to sort or sum. If the rows have no decimal point then you have to manually reorder the rows. hth mk PS, isn't connectCAD amazing? Quote Link to comment
maxbowman Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 For the most part I like...just some small things that are a little annoying (mostly because I don't come from video system design background so i'm sure I want to draw in a weird LDish way), but overall I do enjoy the speed bump from manually drawing everything.... So....I guess the question is if I can get CC to output a worksheet in a way that I could quickly resort it (as I don't have decimal points in my rows) by things such as racks or devices (or even to resort my cable numbers after I make changes) The spreadsheet vs. database issue would answer part of my question as I had only used it with LX data before Quote Link to comment
maxbowman Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Dawned on my I could just export to excel and do any format stuff and then reimport a dumb worksheet to throw on the plates...I guess I was just hoping there was a more direct workflow. Quote Link to comment
