LDCad - find step number of a brick

[Juergen]

Dear all
I'm using Rolands LDCad for building modells for a few weeks now . is there a way to determine the step number of a certain brick. The only way I know is using the step menu and go forwar or back until I know in which step a certain brick is. Is there an easier way to figure out the step number of a brick?

Otherwise it would be great to have this Information in the property window of this brick and if the brick is in the wrong step the number might be editable so I could correct this directly.

Best Regards
Juergen

Yes: select part, then in stepping menu (accessible either by right click, or by clicking on top left setp number field) choose "selected". Learnt that recently...

Looks like a good idea. OTOH source window works well for that too.

You can also move the selection to a different step using the stepping/move to menu, keep it pinned open if you need to move lots of stuff.

Ok that's right.
But sometimes I need the "step info" in the case to modify something in the "middle" of a large model. I can see the brick which I want to change. Now I can only guess the appropriate step, go to this step and see it's not the right one and have to use the arrows to maneuver to right step.
