Re-Order

Goblin60

 All,

Due to a change in naming conventions, my film order is out of whack. For example, silkscreen top (sst) & silkscreen bottom (ssb) had been co-located to make it easier to see. Other layers with similar names had been grouped together. How do I change the film order in the artwork control form? I know there is a SKILL protocol but I haven't used SKILL very much and I need to finish this project soon. Thanks.

    To add,

    If you don’t want the Allegro to sort the film automatically use the below User preference variable

    Under CATEGORY:  manufacture/artwork

    film_nosort     : Sets film param artwork display back to pre-14.2 unsorted

                      order. Default, is to sort them alphabetically. When this

                      variable is set, order may appear in stackup order if you

                      create the stackup before opening the film param dialog.
