    Xerox Plotter

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    From what I've read on past post, there are a number of people having issues with Xerox plotters and vectorworks. We have both Mac's and PC's running VW 2010 and having issues with our new Xerox 6604. Has anyone found a driver that will work correctly with Xerox plotters and vectorworks?

    Windows XP with Vectorworks 2010

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I currently have Vectorworks 2010 on a Windows XP computer and I've been having more issuses crashing Vectorworks 2010 then I had with Vectorworks 2008. My question is if I update to Vectorworks 2011 is this going to be the same or get worse being it's built more for Windows 7? Also when will Windows XP not be supported by Vectorworks programs?

    Viewport Scale Incorrect

    in General Discussion

    There has to be a bug. It acts like a bug because if I keep clicking on and off the viewport it will change from 1/8" to 3/16" in the object info box. I just had another guy in the office open the file and he had the same issue I did. We both have VW2010 SP4. with windows xp.

    Viewport Scale Incorrect

    There is no confussion between the drawing scale label. When I click on the viewport the object info says the scale is 1/8" and that is not correct. When I orignally set the viewport scale I picked 1/8" from the object info - scale drop menu. What I get is a box saying 1/8" and a viewport at 3/16". This is a serious glitch in the program.

    Vectorworks 2010 has a glich with the scale of Viewports. We've had several drawing files with one or multiple viewports showing the incorrect scale. The Object Info of the viewport will call out 1/8" scale but the viewport is showing a different scale. The design layer and viewport have the same scale. If I go and change the viewport layer to another scale and then back to 1/8" it may or may not scale correctly. I've got SP4 and we still have the glitch.

    Convert wall to lines

    in Architecture

    Posted

    In VW 2010 is there a way to convert a basic 5" wide wall with no fill into two lines without deleting doors and windows. When I ungroup the wall it makes a centerline and a filled polyline. I don't want either of these to appear. I just want the two basic lines. Is that possible?

    2010 Service Pack 3

    I have a number of files recently saved in VW 2010 with all the updateds to service pack 3 that can not be opened now. I get a message saying the files were saved in a newer or to old of a version. Any ideas on how to get them to work again?

    Walls moving and wonky lines

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I have the same problems with 2010 and SP2. The walls being attached to each other and moving together is a big issue the needs to be fixed. Turning off the auto connected wall mode helps some but then you have to clean up all the walls manually. I've also had a problem with associate dimensions preventing objects from being moved.

    Text rotating itself in VW 2010

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I've got a problem with vectorworks turning text 90 deg. when it's printed. It has done this a couple of times now. With text in a veiwport and text on a sheet layer. Usually I can just retype the text and it fixes the problem. Is there another way to fix it? What could be causing it?

    Snaps

    Under SmartCursor Settings, Object category, (Nearest Point on Edge) is deselected by default now. You need to turn it on to be able to snap to intersecting lines at any point on the line.

    In the new 2010 the snaps only seem to be only snaping to the nodes on lines. Snap to intersection doesn't work the same way it did in 2008. Is there any way to make it?
