I'm trying to figure out a way to re-order parts and sub-assemblies within the browser. For example (I'm sure we've all been here but to clarify) I have a part or assembly at the top of the browser so now all constraints connect everything to that top level part or assembly essentially using the top item as the "grounded" part. So now I introduce a new part that now needs to take the place of the "grounded" part by moving it to the top of the browser. The problem I'm having is the easiest way I know of to move that item to the top of the browser is to create a new part and then start dragging whatever item I want to be on top to the bottom where it falls under my newest created part and then continue doing so with the rest of the parts and assemblies until I have them in the order I want. It's painfully slow this way and there's got to be another way. Anyone know?

I was afraid that was the only solution. Autodesk really ought to think about some other way of doing just that. Maybe even a stand-alone type app that works similar to Windows Explore or something to that effect. Or just add a drag and drop feature that gives the ability to simply re-order parts and assemblies without them wanting to be added to where you're dragging the files.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. Maybe one of the savy lsp/batch guys out there can write something...
MDT has been discontinued. There will not be further
development.

Don't know what your post had to do with the original question but in my humble opinion MDT (any version) is by far NOT the best 2D or 3D program out there. I will admit that the 2D capabilities are exceptional but the 3D is down right primitive in comparison to others out there. For example: Solid Edge, Solidworks, Inventor, Pro/E, and even UG and Catia blow MDT out of the water. Give em a shot one day and you'll never want to go back (just my opinion though).

Sorry, still don't get your meaning but I did want to mention that the answer to my original question was indeed answered. Per Engberg hit the nail on the head with the "hold shift". Works like a charm.
