Wesley Burrows Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Can we please get the ability to drag and reorder these data fields on the project data and sheet data fields without deleting and recreating. 1 Quote Link to comment
0 Kevin McAllister Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yes, please. I'm curious what defines this order to begin with, especially in title blocks converted from earlier versions. When you create a record format you have the ability to drag the fields into your preferred order, so my original title block fields were appropriately ordered. That order seems to be lost in conversion. @JimWis this supposed to happen? Shouldn't the fields retain their order in conversion? Kevin Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately I can't give any further details yet but the instant I can, I will. Quote Link to comment

Kevin Are you saying we have to wait until VW2019 to see these improvement/changes; or can we hopefully expect them in a future 2018 SP? Quote Link to comment
0 ubybc Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Be nice to get an update on the status of this request? This issue is a primary concern of our drawing team. Quote Link to comment

0 ubybc Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 is there a workaround in place for the time being? Previously, the order was determined by the order within the data record? The new update seems to have randomized the order. Would be nice to have some way to order the entry fields as they appear in the titleblock. Quote Link to comment

As far as I can tell, you have to delete everything up to the point the order is correct, and then manually add new fields in the order you want them to appear. Tedious for sure.

Just to follow up on my post from yesterday about open vs closed, if information about something were to be released early it should be about this...... 🙂 Kevin Quote Link to comment
