Reordering the Tree

You can reorder the children in a selected assembly.

  1. Select an assembly with two children or more.
  2. In the Edit section of the action bar, click Reorder .
    The Tree Reordering dialog box appears and displays the children of the selected object in the same order as in the database.
    Note: Once open, the Tree Reordering dialog box does not synchronize with what happens in the 3D widget. For example, if you clear the view in the 3D widget while the Tree Reordering dialog box is open, the Tree Reordering dialog box is not updated. After clearing the view, if you reorder the data, the reordering is successful.

    • Using the buttons in the dialog box:
      1. Select or multiselect the objects to be moved.
