See Managing Loaded or Not Loaded Representations.


Tree Reordering
Reorders the tree.
Select an object with two or more children of the same type, then use the Manual reordering mode or the Automatic reordering by criterion mode to reorder the instances.
See Reordering the Tree.


Product Configuration
