  1. I was working on a file (in Vwx 2009 for Mac) and all of a sudden, I am unable to see any of the fixtures' attributes in the Object Info window, below the "Rotation" field, starting with the "device type" button, on down. Did I change something by accidentally hitting a different mode? I opened other files and do not have that problem with other files. Thx.
  2. Thanks, to both of you. By exporting "current view" from the viewport, with line weights changed, I was able to print plots in the manner I wanted without the blown out items.
  3. Howdy all, There are times when a full-sized 36" X 24" plot is not necessary. I would like to export to a PDF, using "current view", and print on a regular 8.5" X 11" or 11" X 14" paper. However, when I export that way so many of my objects are so overblown that it's hard to make out what it is. I can best describe it as looking like somebody used a fat magic marker, rather than a ball-point pen, to draw the objects. This does not happen when I export into a full-size plot. Is this something I can fix by changing some setting? Or is this just something happens when exporting with the "use current view" option checked. Thanks. mj
  4. Thanks, guys. I just imported the dwg file, this time with list instead of thumbnail, and the resource browser did not freeze. This is good. Does this mean that I will need to work in list mode any time that I have to work with imported dwg file? secondly, is there anything that my CAD "partner" is doing differently that is causing the corruption/freezing? I've worked with him many other times and have not had problems. However, the last 2 different projects, we have had the problem. Thanks. MJ
  5. Hello, Recently, my resource palette in one of my files went on the blink and I can't seem to fix it. I recently imported a DWG file and am not sure if that may have caused it. But, here's what happens. In this file, my resources have all disappeared. If I scroll down in the browser, it freezes. I open another file and that resource is fine. It's just this file. Anyone have an idea what that is all about? And more importantly, how to fix it? Thanks. MJ Vwx 2009 for Mac
  6. Also, with your jpeg you sent, I can see exactly what you meant. My greenhorn vocab is severely limiting me. But, hopefully, that'll change. Thanks, again, Kevin. MJ
  7. Thanks, Kevin. I actually found it; when I right-clicked on the symbol (to make it active) the mode bar changed to the mode buttons I was looking for.
  8. I am working in Vwx 2009 for Mac. I haven't used the program in a while, so I'm not sure what happened... but, now, I can't insert any resources onto my drawing. I think I'm doing the steps correctly: 1) I am selecting "Inst Insertion Tool" or "Accessory Insertion Tool" 2) The, I go to the resource browser, right click on what I want, and select "make active" from the menu 3) Then, I go to my drawing double click onto the point on my drawing where I want to insert the instrument HOWEVER, I keep getting an error message, in red, at the lower, right portion of my drawing window, saying, "the object you selected is not a 2D object" Did I put my program in a certain setting (unbeknownst to me) that is prohibiting me? I'd appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks.
  9. For some reason, now, I can't press the command, or shift, button to group several objects, i.e. to change several 19-degree lekos to 26-deg. I was able to do this yesterday, and I don't remember making any changes to my preferences. thanks
  10. Thanks, CipesDesign. You're a poet and a scholar.
  11. I can't seem to create a viewport with cropping. After creating a viewport, when I select the new viewport to edit its properties, the line that indicates whether cropping is enabled says "No". I am working in a file that somehow had cropping enabled when its current viewports were created. But, new viewports are created with default no crop. Is there a way to change this? btw - all objects have class as none. Thanks.
  12. Thanks for the help. I am still relatively new to 2009 for Mac. How do I put the 2D selection tool in that Single Object Interactive Scaling Mode? Thanks. MJ
  13. Hi all, I have Vwx 2009 for Mac, and I have been having a DEVIL of a time trying to move, or repositioning a label. U know, when you have a lot of fixtures near each other the labels, at their default positions relative to the fixture, can become quite cluttered. I used to use Vwx 12.5 for PC and in that program, when you clicked on a fixture, there were various little diamonds super-imposed over the labels and just click, drag and move the labels that way. Not so for 2009 for Mac. Any clue on how to do that? Any info to that effect would be greatly appreciated. Thx. MJ
