    Hello,

     

    I have 10 shot 3″ racks. My finale chains come in 12 shots. When Finale loads them it goes top to bottom, which is fine until the last 2 shells. It starts at the top of the next rack. As you would expect, that defies the length of most chains to get it back to the top of the rack.

     

    Is there a way to make Finale treat chains to load in an S pattern? As in start at the top and then load the rest of the chain starting at the bottom of the next rack?

     

    Thanks.

    Hi TomT,

     

    For any rack that you want to load from bottom to top, right-click on it in the layout and select “Reserve tube loading order.” This will reverse the loading order of the rack and add a small horizontal line above it to indicate its loading order has been reversed.

     

    Let me know if this helps!

    Yes, that will work. I had considered that but thought there might be another way.

     

    Thank you.
