SORTING DRAWING SHEETS

SORTING DRAWING SHEETS

SORTING DRAWING SHEETS

(OP)
Hello, I am working on a Catia assembly drawing.  This drawing consist of approx 16 sheets (so far).

That is the easiest way to sort sheets?

What I want to do is re-arrange the order of the sheets (i.e. making sheet 4, now sheet 8 etc).  Inserting a new sheet between existing sheets.   Seems the new format ALWAYS goes to the back.

I know I can rename the drawing sheet in "properties", but how can I move the sheet so it's order is correct in the "TREE"?  

Thanks much

Also added info on my problem, I am using V5-R9 (yes it's old).

What I have been doing lately is adding a new sheet, and copying data from one sheet to the next.  In doing this though, sometimes I LOSE dimensions (not sure WHY).

HELP....

Thanks, again

RE: SORTING DRAWING SHEETS

you can cut (in the order you want ) and past all sheets, this will bring them in the selected order...

you have sheet 1,2,3,4

press CTRL and select sheet 3,1,2,4, then CUT (CTRL + X)

then past... (this work with R16)

you really should consider upgrading to R16 or 17...or people will think you're not using a legit catia license and won't help you anymore ;)
