character artist pro plus problem putting on armor

Sigh I'm back again now I've shifted over the character artist. For anyone that takes a moment to try to help thank you ahead of time.

I created a drawing with the arms at defensive -- symbol HMt2A Arms A is the symbol name

I'm trying to add leather armor to over the right arm with HMtAR3 Leather and HMtAR3 Studded symbols.

Every time I save or redraw it goes behind the bare arm. I tried bring to front with the leather symbol and bring to back with the arm but nothing seems to work. I can readd the symbol but it just disappears again as soon as redraw and save happens.

I feel like I'm missing something silly but can't figure it out.

Also all the symbols aren't showing on the left side window and there doesn't appear to be a way to do that. I don't mind scrolling multiple pages of options but it just stops showing symbols when I know there are way more. The arm symbols are missing the arm armor completely. I finally found an option that showed me items I had in the drawing already and that is the only way I was able to readd the leather. How do I get it to show all the symbols options I have under each heading?

    Check the sheets. Either one of the symbols (arm or armor) is on the wrong sheet [if so, use change properties to move it to the correct one], or the sheets needs to be rearranged.

    Also remember that bring to front/send to back doesn't work across sheets, so they are not the appropriate tools to use here.

    As for missing symbols, have you tried expanding the collections? Many symbol variants are hidden inside collections to make the symbol list easier to handle.

    Yes, several of the pieces in CA3+ are not on the correct sheets.
    Change the armor to the correct sheet and it will move up to the correct place.
    I have found the ability to change the symbols sheets to be very useful though.
    You can create some cool stuff that way.
  • Thanks for the advice on sheet order. Truthfully I would have never figured that out. I was using an arm collection and the right arm armor was higher on the list.

    I haven't quite figured out how to list all my symbols but I did figure out how to just open the folder and bring them up that way. I already had expand symbol selected it just wasn't doing it.

    Thanks all
