  1. Class and Layers descriptions are not currently possible in Vectorworks. Is it possible to add them? In addition is it possible import/export them as they are part of of a dxf/dwg file?
  2. Hi all When importing a dxf the sheet layers change in order. Seems to random as different ordering results, are possible, on the same drawing. This cannot be hard to fix and it makes that much harder to use an imported file.
  3. Autocad tables http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2010/ENU/AutoCAD%202010%20User%20Documentation/index.html?url=WS1a9193826455f5ffa23ce210c4a30acaf-63ab.htm,topicNumber=d0e123859 They can or can not be linked to an excel spreadsheet Regards
  4. Hi Monadnoc Autocad itself, dwg and or dxf files can and do support tables (with functionality equivalent to worksheets). I have sent a copy of such a file to Ozcad our distributor in the hope they forward it on. The table is pulverised in the import process by VW 2013 SP3 and converted to "dumb lines and text". Thats not very useful behaviour, for us anyway. Regards
  5. Hi. On import dxf leader lines are ungrouped and no longer considered to be leader lines. Could dxf files with leader when imported be maintained as a Vectorworks leader. At least the option provided, if it does create an appearance change? Regards
  6. Can dwg tables be imported as worksheet and worksheets be exported as dwg tables? In VW 2013 SP3 the tables are exploded into lines
  7. I agree. enhanced text formatting is essential, with support for indents in text Would also assist in supporting better dxf inputs as indented text lists is pretty standard fare these days.
  8. Hi, sometimes despite the best efforts to match fonts there are differences to the type of font used. When the font is slightly larger than the original, editing of the text block or text size is required. On importing is it possible to add a function to the font mapping that allows the size to be reduced slightly.
  9. Hi, It would be useful to have a bullet or numbered list function for text on Vectorworks. Besides it general use for typing, when importing dwg/dxf from autocad the text formatting is lost due to the lack of an equivalent indented text. Working closely with dwgs is very important function when intergrating with others. Note I am aware of the general notes function in architect.
  10. HI Guys, It would be nice if there was a combined linear and ordinate dual dimension. This is very useful when detailing steel. VW 2012 seems to have quite a few steel detailing #D features these days.
  11. Can a additional way of selecting a workplane be added to the to the 3d tools. Changes to the workplane: [*]User selected depth of view, hiding all objects above or below the set limits , example +500mm, -500mm [*]Automativcaly rotates the view to the the selected work plane This would enable a quick way of hiding unwanted object and setting a useful drawing area with the minimum number of clicks. On some types of drawings if it takes 8 clicks to and you need to do this 500 times, you end up clicking some 4000 times though a standard sequence. This method that is proposed would allow to set up a useful view in one click. Regards
