These parameters control ordering of the graphics for their assigned sequenct integer. The Key parameter specifies the point on each graphic that will be used to define its position relative to the other graphics selected for the sequence. The Page checkbox allows the rules specified to be applied on a per-page basis or across the whole drawing. The Key menu interacts closely the choice for Order. If items on this menu are disabled it is due to the logic specified by the value of the Order parameter.
The Across-Then-Down and Down-Then-Across operations apply a very "loose" comparison of actual row or column. The comparisons are locally relative between two graphics, and independent of absolute position on the drawing. If two graphics have any overlap of boundaries in the priamary direction, they are determined to be in "a" row (or column). If two graphics are determined to be in the same row or column, then their relative spot in the sequence is determined by the "other" direction. In most cases this will provide the intended results. If elements are staggered or more random in position the logic may not develop the desired patterns that might seem so obvious to the human eye. In these cases it may be quicker to guide the process using particular selected graphics rather than attempting to find a logic and positioning combination that works. |
