i am trying to find a way to push data from a worksheet to symbols that have a record format attached. the reason behind is that we are working on a museum project with about 5000 exhibits. they all have specific needs for humidity, maximum lighting, security and so on. these values are coming from the client side. from our side we are adding names and coordinates where in the museum the exhibits are located, for later facility management. i googled and asked the ai-chat but didn´t get anything in return working. the vw ai chat says i can choose a worksheet inside the datamanager to define a field mapping but i can´t find anything inside the datamanager where i can select a worksheet. anybody has any idea?

Give the machine at least 64gb of RAM. If you often use shaded views, Renderworks you need at least 64gb (my experience) I work a lot with huge 3d files, containing dwg imports, referenced files an so on... Often i have multiple vectorworks drawings with size over 400-500mb open and other stuff. My next machine will result in an actual M4 with 128gb of RAM .-)

I think that using only a dash as a method to group layers is not comfortable. Drag and drop directly on layernames should be what they hopefully implement. Or have you been able to resort classes with drag and drop at any time?

I can not tell about 2025 but this is also a problem within 2024 and not only related to walls. It appears nearly to every shaded geometry, which can only be selected while moving the mouse to a line of the corresponding geometry. Activating while clicking on a shaded surface mostly does not work for me. Activate_Click_shaded.mp4

It also might occur if you create a file on a local hard drive and copy this to a server drive. If the permissions on the server are not set correctly, the file owner is the one who created this and the permissions for "everybody" are set to read only. Set the permissions for "everybody" to read/write and i should work. We had the same here a few days ago with a user who was not integrated in the domain registration.

after a few attempts i was able to push this feature request in the public roadmap with a critical comment .-)

Did you contact Joshua directly? Sometimes the plugins need an update to work properly with new vwx versions...

I tried using the shared document functionality. All the callouts that are in the sheet layer do not show their text. Is that a known issue? The drawing that is used is converted from vwx24 ud6

a user in the german forum posted this. thought i share this here. 1. open the print dialog (not page setup) 2. click on the lower window frame to resize the window 3. the dialog moves to the most possible left screen position this does not happen if you click on the right bottom edge and resize the window original post: https://www.vectorworksforum.eu/topic/28653-druckdialog-bug-report/

Thanks for answering and offering support, Tim !

Good topic. It´s the same at our company here. Also none of the users have admin right. Not on Mac and neither on Windows. A full installer image is really necessary.

it´s the second tuesday in september .-) as always - release day .-)

just for those who also replied. i looked into the dwg. whoever was the owner of that file - he never checked this file. even autocad became sluggish. symbols scaled down by the factor 0.034xx somewhat. drawing contents inside these symbols that have been place on the first corner on the moon .-) dashdotted linetypes that you can´t see even when zooming in as near as possible... and finally - whatever units the file was imported - it never came in in real world measurements .-))

use the purge tool to ensure that there are no coiincident object. delete everything that you don´t need. often in dwg imports there are hundreds of unused symbols which blow up the file size. and check the line styles inside the drawing. sometimes there are styles that seem to be continuous but consist of small dotted lines and slow down the whole system...

sneaky release .-)
