  1. another option is it manually add the drawing number to the space, then edit the data tag to report the drawing number form the space.
  2. It may not answer what you want, but the detail callout will connect the overall plan to the Dentist rooms plan, and you set a back reference to the main plan.
  3. I had a quick look at this. In your Section A, you have all the annotations in a group. Ungroup them, then you will be able to back reference to the correct section.
  4. hi Sidney, is there anything I can do to help your learning journey?
  5. if you would like direct message me and send me the file, i'll have a look at it.
  6. are you sure they are using actual size, have you seen them change the settings? I know my prints are out of scale if I don’t change the settings manually.
  7. edit the interior elevation viewports (they are really sections viewports) and adjust the height range, or add a crop object.
  8. i was thinking of a single hardscape and use profiles in the hardscape to get the slopes you want.
  9. maybe an aligned hardscape would work, where you edit the profiles to get the falls you require.
  10. I always take a mouse with me, I just can’t draw or use Vectorworks effectively with the trackpad.
  11. i also adjust my snap points to make it easier to dimension, check out this youtube movie:
  12. CTRL key and middle mouse wheel on windows
  13. It’s an old trick, but a goodie. the Loci don’t print so you can leave them if you want.
  14. I use keyboard shortcuts all the time, use command+alt+v for paste in place, command+up arrow to get to the next layer, command+alt+v, command+up arrow, and so on
  15. i use a locus on a corner of the building outside the viewport. copy the locus, move to the next layer, then Paste In Place (Edit Menu).
  16. if you know what classes you need to change, you can set up the mapping of the classes as you import the DXF.
  17. try importing as 2D only, centimetres for the units.
  18. that looks like a scaling issue. are those rectangles Drawings?
  19. if you use the Select All command, how many things are on the Object Info palette? then try fit to objects (ctrl+6)
  20. i use 2D plan/elevation for my designs. it does not matter if the fixture is correctly modelled, as the client might choose a different one.
  21. Hi John, can you post a file that I can play with?
  22. if you are really getting started with Vectorworks, you might find this playlist useful. https://youtu.be/byoU_sjXMCE?si=r3BzuoYh4mmvSiBO
