Question:
We have found that the order that drawing user-defined attributes are displayed in the Drawing List dialog is the invert of how they appear in the objects.inp and subsequently the UDA dialog. Our client wants to change the order of the columns in the Drawing List but does not want to invert the list in the objects.inp to do this.
Answer:
The way Tekla Structures handles drawing UDAs is causing this: The drawing UDAs reverse their order if you are using a "common tab" => UDAs should be the other way around if you copy UDA definitions to all drawing types instead of using a common tab (or vice versa).
