BCD: Changing the navigation graphics from Best Performance to Best Compatibility worked. Thanks.

BCD: Thanks for the information.

The graphics is Intel (R) GRAPHICS 530. My computer is a DELL OPTIPLEX 3040

I will check with the IT people. They will be in the office tomorrow. Thanks

Here is photo of example. The dark blue flashes to the normal white background. Note that old drawings brought into 2019 do not do this.

I just downloaded Landmark 2019 onto my Dell (Windows 10 Pro 2.6 GHz 64 bit) When I create a new drawing and add lines or shapes and use the pan tool to move around, the screen begins to flash with sort of a negative image of the drawing. The grid lines are surrounded by light strips and the area between the grids is dark. I am just starting to play with 2019 but I have never seen anything like this. I have been using 2016 and have Service Select. Did not like 2017 and never downloaded 2018. Is there a compatibility issue with my operating system?

Thank you for the help. Unfortunately I lost the original DXF information due to loss of a disc (my bad!). But i forwarded the information to the person who is running the Autocad end of this. thanks, Don

I have attached a vectorworks drawing of a portion of the points. they were imported into Vectorworks as a dxf file. I have also attached the DWG that was exported from this information and a screen shot of the settings used for the export to dwg.

I am using Vectorworks Landmark 2017 and need to export my drawing with point data to a AutoCADD user. I have tried and the autocadd user says there is no coordinate data? How can I send it such that there are coordinates associated with the points. Is there any way to convert points back to an ASCII File?

I keep forgetting it is the numeric keyboard you have to use when using Alt function. Thanks.

I am using Landmark 2017 on a windows machine. How do I create a degree symbol for using in text?

I am using Landmark 2013 on a windows machine (windows 7). I am on a network and am connected to several printers. There is one file I created using 2011 and this spring converted to 2013. When I go to print that file I get a "no printers loaded" error message. It tells me to go to the start menu and reload printers. When I open any other files after that, I get the same message. If I close out vectorworks and reopen I am fine until I try to print that one file. Anyone have this happen.

I have set the opacity of the layer I am woking in to the level I want and then import the plans

thanks, I got it to work by setting the opacity of the layer I was placing plants in.

Using Landmark 2013 on a Dell computer. I click on a plant, go into 2D Graphics, change the opacity from 100 to some other number. Click exit edit and the plant is much larger but the opacity is still 100%. In fact if I go into 2d edit and make no changes ar all and then exit plant edit, the plant still is much larger than when I entered plant edit. Any answers as to why that is happening?

Thanks for the help.

I am using Landmark 2013 and when I go into the plant tool there are only 15-18 plants to choose from. Is there another library for plants?

I have obtained some data points that were created using NAD 27 Pennsylvania North coordinate system. I need to convert them to NAD 83 Pennyslvania North. My drawing has been set up with the proper georeferencing in File/Document Settings. For the layer I have also set up the proper georeferencing in Tools/Organization. I then imported the points. I then changed the layer georeference to NAD 1983 PA North and nothing happened. (I have the transformation setting to transform all geometry individually.) I then changed the drawing georeference to NAD 83 and nothing happened. Has anyone ever had to convert NAD 27 to NAD 83? If so how did you do it.

I am a professional engineer and have been using VW since Mini Cad 7. My first 5 minutes on the program convinced me it was a piece of crap. Then I started to figure out was going on and have liked it. When trying anything new on it I still swear alot before either figuring it out or posting on the community board. I am sure those that have read my posts think I am not too swift but I rather ask a simple question than flounder about. Still working on generating contours, my hardest task to date. It is nice to know that there are other engineers using VW. Donald Franson, P.E., P.L.S. Franson Engineering and Surveying Using Landmark 2013(first day)

I have just started to use Landmark 2013. One thing that is a little quirky is that when I click on the drawing using the pan tool and start to move it, the drawing moves up about an inch. when I am done moving the drawing and release the pan tool it shifts back down about an inch. I am using landmark on a windows machine with Windows 7. Anybody else notice this?

Thanks for the help everyone.

I am using VW Landmark 2011 on a windows machine. I have imported survey data and am creating contours. I would like to add some "points" to the data at an area I was unable to get survey shots. Without points, the contours are not correct. I need to populate the area with points I create with elevations I know to be correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I used the property line tool up to the curve that is giving the problem. I allowed the property line tool to close the plot. The segment it created to close the plot was correct for the chord of the curve. Don

I qam using Vectorworks 2011 Landmark. I am trying to plot a deed that included a curve that is not tangent to the lines before or after. I cannot get it to work. As I enter data for the radius and so forth, the data I have already entered will change. How is the data to be entered for a non tangent curve (and yes I have the non tangent curve box correct.)

Guess I should have said I am using Windows.
