BWhealton Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am looking to organize the sheet set properties we use for our "fields" in a custom order. I do not want it alphabetically order but rather have it in a custom order by my specifics. The only other way I have found out how to do this is by "number" and I am wondering if there is another way. If so please post a suggestion please. I am running AutoCad 2007. Thanks in advance.

rustysilo Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 You can click and drag your sheets in the list to wherever you want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWhealton Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 You can click and drag your sheets in the list to wherever you want them. This is not what I am trying to do. I am trying to modify the custom properties list where u add in information that can be linked to fields in several sheets. In the custom properties I can add properties and change the "value" and link that to different fields across a number of sheets to change all at once. An example could be.. Address - Value City - Value Client - Value State - Value Zip - Value No how I want it to show up in a order I would want would be like Client - Value Address - Value City - Value State - Value Zip - Value This is just an example because they seem to organize alphabetically and I would like to custom the order of the information I put in.

BWhealton Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 move the fields into the order you want them to be in As is move/drag from one place to another? If so this does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Ohh I see. I'm afraid you can't reorder these (as far as I know). This is one of those annoying things that baffles me as to why the Autodesk folks didn't give you this option. You can't even edit a custom field. You have to delete and recreate them. This may have changed in '09, but in previous versions I have yet to find a way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the only other way I figured I could do this is to number each one in order so they all fall in the order I want. as for 09 dunno if the feature is the same I am using 07 but the person that sits behind me is using 09 so maybe I will try to get on his computer and check it out.
