Description: Allows the user to reset the order of objects in a project. Some functions need objects to be picked or created in a certain order for the function to work correctly. A nurbs loft, for example, requires the lines to be picked in a certain order. By using this utility, someone can reset the creation order of those lines so that the lines no longer need to be individually picked for them to be in the desired order.

This utility will duplicate all the picked objects in the order that they were picked. This is essentially an automatic version of doing a cut/paste on any objects that needed to be reordered.

Instructions: Use the pick tool to select the objects in the desired order. Run this utility.
