Default Parts list

Default Parts list

Default Parts list

(OP)
We have a number of different parts list settings saved down in draftlist.txt, mainly to accomodate different drawing sizes.  

Does anyone know how the 'default' one is selected/set in SE?

Currently the one it places if you don't select otherwise is actually one that's rarely used.  I'd like to try to at least get it so that the default parts list matches the default sheet size.

At the moment the one it picks is the last one in the list, the list itself appears to be alphabetical.

RE: Default Parts list

Hi,

the entries within the Pulldown are sorted ascending
in binary mode that is capital letters are sorted
before lower case ones. The first entry in Draftlist.txt
is selected to be the default entry.

BTW: if any name contains the string iso then this
entry will be the first one regardless of placement
within Draftlist.txt and whether letters are lc/uc/or mixed
