How do I manually reorder load cases, load groups, combinations or envelopes in Tekla Structural Designer?

Question

I have used the "Generate" command to create some load combinations and then subsequently added some manually created combinations to the bottom of the list. Is it possible to reorder the combinations in Tekla Structural Designer?

Answer

Tekla Structural Designer 2018i Service Pack 1 (18.1.1.27) has added a Reorder command to the Loading window > right click context menu and the Loading dialog.

Note: This command is available for Loadcases, Load Groups, Combinations and Envelopes.

The Reorder command opens the Reorder dialog as shown below.

 

Within this dialog you can:

• Auto Sort - Automatically reorder the Load case, Load group, Combination or Envelope by Type.
• Move Up - Move the selected item or items, up the list.
• Move Down - Move the selected item or items, down the list

You can select multiple items using standard windows techniques:

• Hold the CTRL key and click the items in the list. Click all the items you want to select. They don’t have to be next to each other. If you have made a mistake click any item again to deselect it. Remember to keep the CTRL key pressed.
• If you want to select items that are adjacent, you can use the SHIFT key. Click the first item, then press the SHIFT key and hold it. Click the last item and release the SHIFT key. To select adjacent items, you can also use the mouse. Click the left mouse button on the first item, hold the mouse button, move the cursor to the last item and then release the mouse button.
