Change the "sequence" for a beam profile

trip_allentrip_allen Member Posts: 5 ✭✭
I am trying to include new rectangular box tube in the table of rectangular tubes that is generated by the updated beam feature. 
My problem is that when I draw the box tube and create the beam profile the sequence of letters is LALALALA-LALALALA and not LALALALA-ALALALAL.
I assume the difference is in how the drawing steps are sequenced or performed. Any Hints on how to better control this?

    The original beam feature has been updated to use custom sketches. The new preferred workflow is to simply use the official Beam feature, as described in the comment in the feature here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e15c2c668d138f01242d0c80/w/0664d65a957c7bfba7cfbddd/e/27d9edb7ed9e601b0ce1e51f

    If for some reason you still need to use the legacy workflow (and generate sequences), I'm also happy to assist with that. But our new preferred workflow allows any profile without any additional work, supports configurations, and lets you keep up with any other releases and bugfixes we add to the beams feature, so I will first recommend you use that.
