I'm trying to locate the right number of my draft schematic for my crafting macro.
Counting in your datapad doesn't work either...You can sort in a list or by picture and within the list you can do name/type/icon.
None of the numbers I have triedcorrelate to any ordering in my datapad.
Plz, can someone help me find how the draft schematic numbering works?

Hey buddy not sure how to help you out. I dont use macros myself so /shrug
Not sure what number you are trying to get.

sry bud I think the devs are secretly randomizing the draft schematics it is a conspiracy they don't want us to use macros to grind 
. "seriously" Ya I know what your going through your only hope is to try and activate a crafting tool then just keep typing the draftschematic command and cycle through till you get what you want. I went through this like 40 to 50 times maybe more to locate it. Another problem is that when you update and gain a new set of schematics the order will tend to rearrange thus making it harder to grind and you will have to repeat the process.

You don't need it.
I'd suggest adding a /pause 2 before it to allow enough time for your tool to open for the macro to select the schematic.

Works with anything.

if you really want the draft schematic number, you need to find it by trial and error. I'd suggest a small macro to select a schematic number and go no further, then exit the crafting process if its no the one you want.

<< Now that your datapad auto-sorts, crafting macros that rely on /selectdraftschematic have problems.
You can get around the "guessing game" of finding the correct schematic number by replacing that line with this one:
/ui action defaultButton;
Now just start your crafting tool and select what you want to craft manually. It can sometimes help to make the first one by hand.
The next time you run the macro, the last thing you crafted will be selected and the "defaultButton" command will just advance the tool to the resource selection screen.
This is so much easier than the 'selectdraftschematic' method because you don't have to modify your macro every time something changes. The only difference is that you have to select the one you want to craft manually the first time you do it. >>

I just tried doing this and at first it didn't work. The macro would stop after it opened the correct draft schematic but wouldn't switch to the assembly phase where you enter the resources.
Once I added the /pause 2; in front of the /ui action defaultButton; command it worked correctly (although its a little slow switching to the assembly phase) but better than having to search for the correct draftSchematic number.
I coppied the original post that you linked(incase it dissapears) Perhaps we can get this stickied.

I just noticed something when you use the /ui action defaultButton; command, the assembly interface has the resource stat bar(not really sure what it's called its the vertical bar that changes depending on the experimental value of the used resource), however when you use the /selectdraftSchematic xx; command that it doesn't have it and just says loading in the slot as you click on the resources.
It doesn't really make a difference to grinding (cept that you see how crappy your resources are) but i just found it interesting that there was a difference so i figured i'd post it here.

Trial and error, if by any chance you try barrels for ws grind, most if the times it seemed to be around nr. 10. Some good advise here before, make a small macro to test it in, one that stops after selecting the scheme.
