After processing a points file and making any edits, I find that some of the shots are not in an order that I can "connect the dots".
An example would be two white traffic lines approaching a stop bar. The shots are taken in this order. Staring with the one closest to the middle of the road shots t and 2 are taken, Then the collector turns right, walks over to the other line closest towards the curb and take shots 3 and 4. The collector then turns to the left, walks back to the original line and takes shots 5 and 6.
Obviously OpenRoads is only going to give you what you gave it (how many decades on are we and this is still true). I have tried a couple of time to re-number just by selecting the points but that doesn't seem to work. While I think that's what needs to be done, I must be missing something.
Mark - If you try to renumber a point name to a name that already exists it won't make the change. Could this be the case for you? Try giving a point a unique name and see if it will save.

Hey, Holly, thanks for responding! What I tried was to rename a number by adding an underscore "_" and a number (usually 1 as in "_1") to the old number, give another number it's number. So, for example a off sequence like 43, 44, 46, 45, with 46 being out of stop, I'd rename 46 to 46_1, 45 to 46, then 46_1 to 45, giving 43, 44,45, 46. When I would try to get the line feature to follow the new path, it just reverted to the old path. So there's another step to that I've missed.
I think you are correct about the unique number aspect. This may be a case of operator error on my part! ;)
Do you not use linking codes?
Not consciously - yet. Talk more about that!
Was thinking of something else... I do indeed use the link codes! Especially the End one which helps clean up the occasional rogue line trying to connect with something at the opposite end of the project. I think I tried to use them to sort out the seeming mis-numbered stuff, but it didn't solve my problem.
