Thank you! I had tried to use the down arrow, which didn't work. Right click is the key. Thank you so much!!

Hi Dawn,

You can sort by any of the fields directly in Corridor Objects if you right click the Point Control field labels and select sort. You can also Custom Sort by up to 4 of the fields. This works similarly in the other controls like Parametric Constraints as well.

The one annoying thing is that the Custom Sorting resets on close of the dialog, but it isn't that hard to redo if you need to.

I really hope we get some grouping mechanism added in there in the future, like "folders" so you can organise them yourself as well.

The Details Dialog Box is kind of like a tabular Properties dialog box aggregator. It is incredibly useful in situation like this. It will give you the properties of your selection set row by row.

You can export those rows to .CSV, or often times (not always) I can just copy and paste to Excel.

I agree with your original point, though. I wish we could export/import point controls to XML.

You can use the Details Dialog Box in conjunction with the Explorer to select all of the Point Controls and kick them out to Excel.
