    Why you no put chairs there?

    in Entertainment

    Posted · Edited by Andrew Davies

    We are happy to help so don’t worry about asking!

     

    But yes, I normally use the count() function in a worksheet. Worksheets are clunky and don’t look pretty at first but can be easily formatted with a little work. 

     

    If if you want to count chairs / symbols in a specific area - draw a rectangle and name it. Then you can refer to that name in a formula. I’m not in front of my Mac but let us know if you need an example and I can send you something.

    Section Lines - Standardising / style

    Thanks Mark

     

    I have never ventured into the Plug-in manager so that is new to me!

     

    Did have a play and couldn't get it to work though?  I changed the parameters for the Section Line Marker (and drawing label) and it didn't seem to make any difference?  Created new section viewports and no change

     

    Thanks though - will keep on fiddling!

    Hello all

     

    Does anyone know how to set a standard for Section Line styles?  I usually make one - set it to show how I like (text size, section marker style etc) - then find myself having to set each parameter again after making a new one.

     

    I am sure there is a better way!  Same question for Drawing Label - I never / rarely show the scale on a viewport so each time I add one I need to turn off the scale manually each time.


    Thanks in advance

    Hello Matt,

     

    You could use the Current Plot Date in Sheet Data for this. Make sure you have set the Plot Date format to Auto and on publish of pdf check Reset All Plugins in order to get the date updated.

    Hi Nikolay

     

    Where is the "Plot Date format to Auto and on publish of pdf check Reset All Plugins" please?

    Callouts - Pull data into a report

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I’d be interested to hear how you get on. I really like the idea of callouts / keynotes coming from a central database. I’ve tried using the database within vectorworks but it didn’t work out for me. Hadn’t thought of using a worksheet. May give that a try. 

     

    As for my initial post - what I am doing is rather unconventional and pretty much a one off. 

     

    I have a 20 page PDF plan which I have no control of and gets updated weekly.  Rather long winded I know, but I import it to a design layer, then have created a sheet layer for each page. In the annotation layer I add callouts with a unique identifier for each power location - which relates to a large google spreadsheet. 

     

    As each label is unique, I wanted a way if creating a list of all the callouts in the file so I can check they are all present. 

     

    All a bit long winded I know but the best way I could think of doing it 

     

    Thanks again for your help

     

    Crashes

    Please make sure to download SP5 that it was just released. And let us know if the problem persists, one more thing as @jblock said make sure Error Reporting is turned on so we can identify easier the root of the crash.

    Thanks - will do.

     

    Where is the SP5 change log?  Keen to see what has changed.  Can't find the announcement and my little bell didn't glow red!
