The Define Object Sequence dialog box prioritizes the order for assigning the view annotation and datum frame labels defined in the Specify Annotation Letters dialog box.
Note:
The Define Object Sequence dialog box is available only when Follow defined object sequence is selected on the Annotation tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box).
Object sequence
Specifies the order in which the view annotation label letters, which are assigned to different types of annotations in the Assign Lists section of the Specify Annotation Letters dialog box, are applied to these view annotation objects:
Viewing planes
Detail envelopes
Cutting planes
Datum frames
You can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to move the currently highlighted view annotation object up or down within the list.
Note:
Only the view annotation objects that share the same labeling scheme are affected by the sequence order in this dialog box. For example, if viewing planes, detail envelopes, and datum frames all use the List 1 labeling scheme, but cutting planes use List 2, then the sequence order for Cutting planes has no effect.
The following table compares the effect on view annotation names when using object creation sequence to determine view annotation names and when using the order in the Define Object Sequence dialog box.
