Is there a way to display a worksheet across multiple sheet layers? I've generated a report from object records that has hundreds of unique entries. I'd like each page to display the worksheet header followed by as many rows as will fit on that sheet. The next sheet should repeat the header and pick up where the last one left off. Thanks for any suggestions for how to go about doing this!

I couldn't find anything using the search function, but I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Is there a way to set the pixel dimensions of a "Move Along Path" animation? I would like to create a Quicktime animation in Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), but I can't find anywhere to set the output resolution. I'm using Vectorworks 2011 (also have access to 2014). Thanks!

Previously (Vectorworks 2009, OS X) when importing an EPS file, it would come in as vector art with proper transparency. However, now that I am running 2011 SP4 on Windows 7, it only imports the low res bitmap preview. I'm assuming this is not the expected behavior. I was able to work around it by converting to PDF and importing that, but I lost the transparency (PDF import has a white background). Any thoughts?

OK, I found somewhat of a work-around. By converting my OpenType fonts to TrueType, I am able to view/print them properly in Vectorworks 2011. Fonts can be converted for free here: http://onlinefontconverter.com/ It is pretty tedious, but at least it works. I still don't understand why the OpenType fonts aren't working. The Knowledge Base article mentions that older OpenType fonts may not work, but these are new fonts (came with Adobe CS5). In fact, none of the OpenType fonts on my machine work.

I don't know if this will help your particular situation, but the clear print settings script has helped me with a past printer issue. http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/509/Reset+Document+Print+Settings

After switching from Mac to PC, I am also running into this problem. OpenType fonts that displayed correctly in Vectorworks Mac are now displaying as Arial on the PC. I found this in the knowledge base: However, this is not a workable solution since you lose any object/layer transparency and the ability to preview the document with anti aliasing. Any other work-arounds?
