There use to be and AutoCad help sub-section, but it disappeared. My problem is that I have created a tile and I use it to represent a product. If I create a 2D shape and another within, then I subtract solids and then tile it, after exporting to .dwg, the cutout does not appear (as below left). However, if I have no fill or a pattern fill, it does work (as below middle & right). These pictures are from AutoCad after the export to .dwg

Hi, There was one version of 2024 in which, when a viewport was created, it's location was in a similar location to the Sheets Layer. ie. In my case I draw a frame around the viewport area that I want to create as a viewport. For every version except one (can't remember which one), the viewports all end up in the middle of the Sheet Layer and on top of each other. However, in one version, I remember being surprised that the first viewport was next to the second viewport, just as I had them on the Desing Layer. Mistake or not, it was very handy. Like this .... Not this ....

Not sure how VW would approach this one, but AutoCad seems to be able to do it. When I draw something on the Design Layer, and I create a viewport, when I move something on the Design Layer, the viewport does not show as it originally did. eg. What was on the viewport .... What is on the viewport after I move the something on the Design Layer I move this left object -100, -100 on the Design Layer However, the object is in it's own viewport (a jigsaw piece). It is not associated with the 2nd viewport to the right. Obviously, if they were in the same viewport then I would expect this result. Somehow, AutoCad can make viewports of individual or selected objects and when they are moved, the viewport crop moves with it/them. This would be great to see in VW.

Hi, As far as I am aware, Vectorscript can't print a worksheet to a pre-defined filename - I'm printing to the "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer. Therefore, can anyone come up with an idea to copy text to the Windows clipboard so that it can be pasted into the filename box when printing it? With VS's "Print ('Worksheet Name')", Windows saving convention pops up, but the filename is blank. Since I already have files of the suffix format that I want, I would just click on an existing file and that would prefill the blank filename area, and then I want to paste in the prefix. eg. suffix = "This file.pdf", prefix = "Despatch List ", result = "Despatch list This file.pdf"

I just got word from Tech Support that they have seen this, and it is being looked into.

This has not been fixed in VW2024 SP3

This has not been fixed in VW2024 SP2 If all Windows users are experiencing it, then I will make an error report and hope that the answer doesn't come back that it was a Windows update that caused it and they can do anything to fix it. However, this only happens with VW.

Good news. Slow walls has been fixed in VW2024 SP2

Hi Alana, I agree. Unified view is not as good as it was. This may happen when the layers (if your using layers) are different scales.

How on earth did that change 🤪 In 30yrs, I have never changed that, and I'm not sure I even noticed those options. 😴 Thanks Mark

Hi, Up until yesterday, my manually placed symbols had an insertion point where I set it. Something went wrong during the day because now the insertion point is at an alternate location. This only happens on one of two computers using the same stationary sheet. The black pic clearly has the insertion point offset from the coloured edited symbol (midpoint). How can I reset it for one computer only?

This has been happening for quite a while. It's annoying.

Additionally, this only seem to happen with 3D objects. 2D can be rotated and visually stay correct.

VW2023 popup active button ("OK", "Cancel", etc.) was bordered by a blue rectangle. This was the highlight to the default option. VW2024's active button is grey while the others are "In your Face" white. Can this be reversed? "In your Face" white active button with the others greyed out.

Can anyone else make this happen so I can add additional support to my bug report ? What the movie. I use alt-left mouse button to select. Then I use ctrl-left mouse button to drag and make a copy. With the selection I rotate 90° With the space bar held down, I pan. I can also make this happen while zooming in and out. Do you see the blue object change back to the horizontal view while panning ? It's rather annoying when trying to position one object alongside another. The blue object is imported from another CAD software, but I've not experienced this until VW2024. Untitled video - Made with Clipchamp.mp4

The bug has been reported and I received notification that they have repeated it and will work on the fix. Hopefully, if I'm not going crazy, it will speed up VW2024 completely, because I'm feeling that I have to wait a lot for different processes to finish. But that's another story.

Excellent Tui, Then I will report this as a bug. Ta.

So, from all of your responses to my question of Mac's, it looks like your all using Mac's and the problem only occurs in Windows. I've also turned on "Account Settings/Signature/View Signatures" and now I can see you are all Mac users. I'll keep this post live until someone can test this problem on a Windows PC with VW2024 to prove the theory.

Here's something interesting. I have been using my computer at work for the above posts. I also have my laptop for when I work from home. Both have the same delay issue. Exactly as explained previously. My work computer is Windows 10 and my laptop is Windows 11. Are you all using Mac's ?

Interesting. I have opened the file that I posted, and I am still getting delays as per my video. I have created a new wall using all the defaults, and still get the delays. I may have to contact my local support to fix it then. If they come up with a solution, I will post it here for all other users with the problem. Thanks all.

Wall types.vwx Please see attached.

Not that I am aware of. We have used the same wall setup for 30yrs now. In 2022 or 2023 combined the round wall and straight wall into one tool with combined options. That's when the radius tool lost it when dimensioning the round wall. ( a different issue that I've been waiting to be fixed since August. ) 2024 is when the slowness appeared. All my hardware is the same for the last 2 or 3 yrs.

I believe that I may have limited the method I used. The wall tool allows the user to click to start and then click the next point and then move to the next point and click, etc. ( as per left picture below ) The method I require for individual wall sections is click to start and then click to finish. Next wall click to start and click to finish. ( per right picture ) You are right @michaelk, there was not lag in the wall tool for 2023 ( as attached ). 2023 wall tool.mp4 Slow wall took.mp4

Hi, Has anyone else noticed how slow the wall tool has been in 2024 ? In 2023 I use to be able to click (start), double click (finish) and then, because I have many many separated walls in my daily projects, click (start) again. In 2024, it's to click (start), wait 1 second, double click (finish). I'm not exaggerating the time here. I know that I can start a new wall without waiting for the previous one to appear, but that's very deceiving.

Ahhh, then it's Chrome Edge seems to work. Thanks Pat.
