I dont think this has been a thing for a while. Set up two dimension standards, one for the primary dimensions and one for the secondary dimensions. this has been available for years.

totally agree. we have been asking for this for years...

yes, i like that

this does not include symbols. my library is a separate thing

every once in a while it is worth starting from scratch. I too have been starting a new template for 2019, trying to use the new class tags and filters, custom tool/attribute palettes, etc.

yes, use the Reshape tool

@BG we need a tool that creates all the flashings, coverings, boards, gutters, and downpipes in one go.

I set that one up, but I want the opposite, all classes except “Detail”

Have i missed something? I was trying to create a filter to show all classes except for classes starting with “Detail”

great feature.

was there supposed to be a link to show which tools don't work?

hi John, you might be having trouble selecting objects, one that is in front of the other. Vectorworks uses the stacking order to select objects. This means that the last object created is the first one selected. try holding your finger on the B key to make all the objects see-through. It sounds as though you need of an introduction to Vectorworks.

Dan, I think it is a good practice to have “NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION” on the drawings, until the client has paid.

Have you tapped the Y key, by mistake? It is the hot key for hiding or showing screen hints

when I get asked, my advice is to pay for vss and keep Vectorworks up to date if it is your main tool for generating work. It is cheaper in the long run to have Vectorworks up to date, rather than paying the price of not having tools that you need.
