AC17 Element ID Manager - Resequencing IDs issue

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

In AC 14 and prior, the Element ID Manager (EIDM) had the ability to
renumber ID's in any order you wished. For example you could pick every window
in counterclockwise sequence and use the EIDM to quickly reset the ID's in a
counterclockwise sequence.

However in 17, while you can change the ID's with EIDM, you can no longer
choose your sequence direction. The order in which you choose the windows no longer
changes the sequence. It appears clockwise has become the default.

Can GS look into this and rehabilitate the Element ID Manager's re-sequence ID
functionality to follow the users' selection sequence?

Thank you,
Mark

You need to remove the "Element ID" from the criteria otherwise it will use the existing order of the IDs when renaming them.
