[Time / Date Stamp?]

Yes, it's working although our we typically use a symbol for out title block and the stamp does update inside out title clock symbol. Is there some way to make this happen?

[Time / Date Stamp?]

Oh. That's so simple. I was exploring custom scripts previously discussed on the Forum. Now I don't need to know how to edit scripts. Thank you!

Oh I forgot to mention that I've tried that tool. The problem is that is does not update. It only displays the info that's current at the time the stamp is applied. The one I previously used updated each time the print command was used.

Thanks for the reminder about my version / hardware info. I'll ad that to my profile.

[Time / Date Stamp?]

I previously worked at an office that had some sort of magic symbol (or plug-in or something) that showed the current time, date and file name as soon as we selected the print command. We'd keep a copy of this in the corner of our drawings so every print would show this info. Anyone know how to create or where to get such a thing?

[2011 Intermittent Loss of Keyboard Shortcuts]

Okay. I think I have a solution. I recalled that when I used 2010 (at another office) I had to stop using the Firefox web browser because it would interfere with my VW keyboard shortcuts. (I switched to Safari). Now I have twice solved my current VW problems with the Firefox browser (once by closing it and once by simply clicking on a browser window and then back into VW. I don't know of anyone else who reports this interference but my system has one unusual feature: I use a Wacom digitizing tablet for drawing. I know that over the last decade of usage it has caused occasional problems especially when it's driver was out of date. The current driver is getting old but it's the most recent one Wacom has to offer. Since the tablet is ten years old they may not feel compelled to support it.

I'll report back if I find my problems are not resolved by closing Firefox.

That would interrupt the space bar usage although I'm also having the problem with the Shift Key & selection tool. As soon as I select one thing then I'm definitely out of the OIP.

[2011 Intermittent Loss of Keyboard Shortcuts]

Since Upgrading to Architect 2011 I've been intermittently loosing the following two keyboard shortcuts:

Shift Key to allow me to select more than one object.

Space Bar to engage the pan tool.

I don't know what I'm doing to interrupt these key functions and I don't know what I'm doing (if anything) to reactivate them. So far it seems random.

Is there some keystroke that toggles these shortcuts on and off? Can you think of anything else that might be related? Might it be something at the OS level?

I'm using Mac OS10.5.8.

Thank you Michael & Benson. That was easy.

[2D Geometry from Section Cut or Elevation]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, we are using recent versions of VW (2008 & 2011) and I am using section viewports. My quote from the VW Help is the current language used in both 2008 & 2011 Help files. What would I select prior to using the Convert to Lines Command?

[2D Geometry from Section Cut or Elevation]

I am handing off a 3D model to a coworker who will continue the project by drafting in 2D. I need to capture 2D section slices cut from a 3D model and place them on a design layer for drafting. VW Help says the following:

"The Vectorworks program automatically creates a new design layer and places the cut 2D section on it. The original layer remains intact."

But I cannot find these new design layers. Can anyone guide me in capturing these sections (and perhaps elevations) for 2D drafting?
