Hi,
Working a golf design and have one valve in head decoder (G880D) operating as master to two valve in head electric head slaves (G880E). Have labeled these heads A8-1, A8-2, and A8-3, for Controller A, Group 8, head 1, 2, and 3, etc.

When I generate the valve schedule, the -1, -2, -3 are listed in reverse order.

On the rare occasion I have a -4, it's mixed up differently too.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Julie
Julie,
Typically they would be labeled A8.1, A8.2, and A8.3 -This seems to be the industry standard when it comes to decoders- However, I am not sure if that would still sort correctly. Give it a try and see what your result is. If things are still out of order let us know and we'll fix it.

Actually turns out that's not 100% true. It fixed SOME but not all of the ordering.

Hi Jake,
Worked using the . instead of the -. Thanks! Now I don't suppose you can build me a macro to change the other 412 heads I already have labeled? *sigh* Onwards.

Julie,
You may just want to buy me lunch after what I am about to tell you (if it works)

Go ahead and try the following:

-Select all items that need changing
-Type "FIND" into the commandline and press enter
-In the "Find What" cell, put "-"
-In the "replace With" cell put "."
-Make sure "selected objects" is selected in the "Find Where" dropdown
-Press Replace all.

Let me know if this works for you.

Ha! I take that as it worked?

No need to send me anything. I don't want everyone else to know my address. They might start sending too many gifts my way. Especially that Seaweed character we see on the forum so much!

Hey Jake,

I want to buy you lunch too. Really you deserve a hotel stay at a four star hotel in the location of your choice, but I'll buy you a lunch.
