Thank you for the information this will help. there should be more of this technical information in some of the webcasts. This is the kind of stuff you don't get from the 3 day crash courses.

Hello momofthree72,

I just wanted to let you know that I got your message and that I'm pretty sure I know what you are experincing. I suspect that what is happening is that the Hangers are actually being created but you can't see them. The reason is because of your display configuration. Here is how to fix it: Activate Dipsplay Manager > Expand Representation by Object > Select Hanger - Follow the checkboxes to the right until you find a Bold set, then check the two boxes under the bold set.

So many field collisions went undetected.

Hello DeeHawkDK, Thanks for the compliment, I do appreciate it. The Hanger tool itself is not that difficult to use, as a matter of fact it is actually pretty basic. Creating this video was actually the tough part. The tool doesn't have many parts to it. It's a little obscure and hard to find for some, but I think that the value is there and I'm just trying to make it simple for people to find, and activate the tool so they can take advantage of it.

I can't believe you just explained that so well in 6 minutes.
