Plant 3D Property Orders/Arrangement

[huhtima]

Have anybody notice that when you make new properties it not goes alphabetical order?

Do I remember wrong or do these properties goes alphabetical order in older versions?

I notice very interesting thing. I make test properties my test project which locate in BIM360.

I kept properties there and I go to take a look some weeks ago and then these test properties was alphabetical order??? How this happend 😄

Is there anybody who have noticed same thing?

You have to change their order in the database.

Hello @George.Endrulat !

I download SQLite Expert Personal and take a look my local project ProcessPower.dcf database.

There was property BTest. I found this property in Engineering Items - Columns.

I change this BTest place to correct but still this property is under of other properties

What I do wrong?

I just to make sure that do that plant 3d really arrange properties to alphabetical order or don't? We are going to change out property name to ISO 15926 and for that reason I need to know that when I delete and make new property I know which order I make 🙂

I have made changes to the field order in ProcessPower.dcf using SQLiteExpert and this has no effect on either the project setup order or the order in the AutoCAD Properties window.

I closed Plant 3D before making the changes and SQLiteExpert before re-opening Plant 3D.

Do I have to make changes elsewhere in the Database or refresh it in some way?

In all my previous Database work in other applications, the changes are immediate.
