GenerationOrder – Customizing the Order in Which Objects Are Generated

Command for specifying the generation order of objects. Disabled by default.

  1. Right-click the Script/Objects category, select Add Items, select the GenerationOrder item and click OK to add it to the category.
  2. Click the GenerationOrder item to display its properties:


  3. Drag and drop entries in the Ordered List tab to adjust the order in which objects will be created.

    Not all object types are included in this list by default. You can add and remove items using the tools on the tab. If an object does not appear on the list, it will still be generated, but after all the other objects. Sub-objects, such as Sequence::Permissions, can be placed directly below their parent object in the list (where they will be indented to demonstrate their parentage) or separately, in which case they will be displayed without indentation.

    Note: By default, extended objects (see Generating and Reverse-Engineering PDM Extended Objects) are not automatically included in this list, and are generated after all other objects.
  4. Click OK to confirm your changes and return to the model.
