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...

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.

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

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
