Indexes

[Gopher]

Is there away to make/trick the machine remember an index value that does not match the one it magically comes up with? If I type in a custom one in the feeder lane it keeps resetting it at random. e.g Case C elec's are index 3 but it thinks 2 and R2512's which are index = 1 from every supplier except RS.

AFAIK the only index value which is used is the one in the feeder def, which is a PITA as it really ought to be in the CDF. The fields that seem to allow you to enter different values appear to be a cruel trick and don't work.

yep you can.. create a new feeder from the generic type then program the indexes for the lanes to match what you need that will save your indexes. you can change the number in the box that appears when you edit feeders in RV Job but the changes get removed when you close the software. thats just a quick fix. the anwser is to make a feeder thats programed with the right indexes.
