Reuse library KRX

[delaneyluke]

Hi,
I'm working with modifying the Hex nuts available with the UGNX reuse library
I have a problem the size drop down list in the primary parameters.
I'm not able to get the sizes to list in order of increasing size.

Please see the attached picture to understand.

Is there a way to manually enforce the listing in increasing order?

Thanks & Regards
Luke

Try adding an underscore, '_', between the integer and the fraction, as in '1_1/4'. What's happening is that it's doing a lexical sort and the 'space' is seen as indicating the there are TWO values which needs to be sorted, the first value and then the second value, before it goes on the next item in the list. Adding the '_' will make the value appear as single string of text.

Thanks for the reply John
That's what I thought too, but if you look at my attachment, the image on the right has the sizes arranged correctly and the higher sizes do not have underscores. Dont know how that worked and why the on on the left won't

Where did you get the image that you say is correct?

Both images are parts I modified from the GTAC downloads
On the left is Hex Jam Nuts and on the right is Hex Nuts
Both have the parameter SIZE(S) listed as shown in the part families with no underscores, but the right image lists them in ascending order while the right does not

When I look at any of the ANSI standard Hex Nuts in the Machinery Library, this is what I see:

This why I asked where you got the images.

Well, I've added sizes and edited the KRX to show more parameters. And in that process got 2 different listings, correctly ascending for the hex nuts but incorrect for the jam nuts.
Anyway will try the underscores for both to get them consistent

Thanks for your help and time John
