  1. to take full advantage of VW in the architectural side of things having Architect is almost a must

    then to make the best use of the tools one has to think about objects rather the lines

    the lines weights then become less of an issue

    especially if colour fills are use; which prints as grey tone when set up an engineered copier

    as for classes we do not follow the standards but

    try to create a hiearchy that relates the the layers.

    We use more than one file for a typical 2 or 3 storey residential project - we workgroup reference if required

    so a Site Plan file would have

    2 or 3 layers to get info to sit front to back

    LL (layerlink) to bring in WGR

    and classes would have

    site-text

    site-misc

    site-road

    site-cars

    text-titles

    text-misc

    text-callout

    text-zoning info

    acadimport- we would move the acad layers here

    etc...

  2. the wall tool works in conjunction with the wall join tool

    example

    draw a rectangle

    draw a wall on each side shorter than the sides

    the letter U on keyboard move the start side (win version)

    then select wall join tool

    select the first wall move the mouse the second wall and they will join either at 90 or L

    then fill the rectangle with a solid colour to make it look good

    then change the colour of the wall to a darker colour to make it stand out.

  3. another tweak

    we set up sheets to print on a 24x36 one page to

    a wide format plotter. Batch prints works just fine

    we then want to print the same set to a desktop 11x17 printer (both hp)

    from our experience so far

    we choose one of the sheet layouts

    when then from "print setup" cnage to 38% to get the reduction of the 24x36 to 11x17 and maintain a scale

    only the visible sheet changes

    which then make "batch print" useless

    a whole new set of sheet layout has to be redone

    which is where a duplicate button would work

  4. VWA11 on win98se

    how does VW recognise the installed fonts?

    we have added and or deleted fonts from the

    c:\windows\fonts folder

    vw does not show the same list as the ttf fonts available in the folder.

    we reinstalled win98se (from cabs folder)

    we used uninstall to repair vw11

    still the one font we deleted then added does

    not show up in vw fonts
