Order Sketch Symbols by name

HI all,

 

in Inventor Drawing, is it possible to "reorder" the sketch symbols list by symbol name?

 

Thanks, best regards

Massimo

Yes, but you need to expand it first I think. And it may cause graphical glitches in the browser. (At least it does here.) It also needs to be selected.

DrwDoc.BrowserPanes.Item(1).TopNode.BrowserNodes.Item("Drawing Resources").BrowserNodes.Item("Sketch Symbols").Expanded = True
DrwDoc.BrowserPanes.Item(1).TopNode.BrowserNodes.Item("Drawing Resources").BrowserNodes.Item("Sketch Symbols").DoSelect
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("DrawingResourceSort").Execute
DrwDoc.BrowserPanes.Item(1).TopNode.BrowserNodes.Item("Drawing Resources").Expanded = False

(Node names are localized.)
