Do VW Schedules Save Time?

[broc croll]

I set up my schedule & record formatting, then placed about

150 doors & windows. Place schedule on drawing and all that

info appears, I'm impressed. There's a few more objects listed

than I had planned but I hope to be able to find them. My

bigger problem is that all the objects are not arranged numerically even though I had that feature enabled and I placed

all the ID's in a consecutive manner.

Two questions: 1) How can I sort these schedules to list the

objects in numeric order and 2) Is it worth the effort?

You need to list your number as 01,02,03. If you use 1,2,3, they will be out of order.

2) Is it worth the effort?

In my experience it all boils down to establishing workable protocols for each stage of the design process. The generation of schedules is no less essential than the section & details references & pages . Specifically, schedules are an important part of the product from the beginning of design to the end production of the final planset. Anything we can do to validate & harmonize the schedules with the page presentation is vital to the success of the end product. You can never have too many schedules is my rule ; )

Thank you both for your responses. Kevin, you're exactly right.

My schedules are listed in perfect order if you think like a computer. An easy fix, which makes this a perfectly usable

tool!

Thanks again.
