Found it! File/Preferences/Vector Works Preferences/ Session Tab/ Serial Number Button

How do I enter the serial number after running VW in the evaluation mode? Normally this is entered at installation but it was not done for this copy, not sure why! Thanks

I am attempting to open a old file I think was made with Minicad. I currently have VW 11.0. Is there a viewer to try in opening this file with?

Goal accomplished, Thanks everyone!!!!

Katie, My attempt here is to make the symbol part of the existing library of symbols that allow me to select and then insert them. Katie, "Add new resource file" is not a option for me.My options to add a file are, "Add new to favorites files" "Add current to favorites".

When I close the current drawing that I am working on the favorites folder disappears from the RB with the symbol in it.How do I get the favorites folder to appear when using different drawings?I need to make this folder available for use with all drawings that I open or create.

My problem is adding the symbols to the folder,how is this accomplished?

I have created a symbol in a document that I wish to add to a folder(created by myself) in the resource browser window. I am continually creating this certain symbols or searching old drawings to copy and past the symbol into the new drawing.When I attempt to add the symbol to the resource browser it places the symbol into the favorites section which is removed when I close the drawing.

Not sure on how this works but I tried to adjust the lauer scale of the "D" size drawing and the copy and paste into the "C" size drawing with no solution. Am I doing this correctly? Thanks mon. [ 09-14-2005, 09:18 AM: Message edited by: mdilday ]

I created a drawing on a "D" size template using some of the electrical symbols in the resource browser. I grouped the drawing and then copied the drawing. Next I opened a "C" size drawing and pasted the drawing into the C size drawing. The drawing was largerd than the template area so I selected the drawing and attempted to scale the drawing to fit into the "C" size template. I noticed that the symbols that I inserted were not scaled with the remainder of the drawing scale. Next I tried to scale the entire drawing without and result? Vector Works 11.5.1 WIN PC WIN XP PRO

This is strange, as I look at the files the vector works symbol appears next to the file name. I have do nothing to make this appear?

The only issue that remains is the vectorw works icon not present with each file?

I recently upgraded my hard drive and OS to WIN XP Pro.I then reinstalled Vector Works with all the upgrades and patches to vesion 11.5. When I open the resource browser to insert a symbol there is nothing there to select? I also have noticed that the icons for my vector works files are not identified by a vector works icon. I have to select which program to open the file with? [ 05-26-2005, 09:06 AM: Message edited by: mdilday ]

I have reinstalled Vectorworks 11.5 on a new hard drive with WIN XP PRO. When I try to do the updater 11.5.0(40462), to prevent crashes, I get a error during installation "The location that you have chosen does not contain a copy of Vector Works that can be updated.Please check for location of Vector Works 11.5.0.37547." Is there another update that I need to perform before installing this update?

I am using win2k but a coworker is using a MAC computer,not sure the os of the MAC. The MAC gives square ends and the PC gives round ends. Why is this different, this should be the same no matter what machine a person is using?

How do I change the end of a line from a rounded end to a square end?

Both red flags are pointing in the same direction. I also tried with the flags in the opposite direction without any success? [ 12-13-2004, 12:04 PM: Message edited by: mdilday ]

I have been trying to use "create a fillet surface" with "nurbs" object. After a I select the two items and then select create fillet surface a window appears asking for the radius. I have tried many different radius's and none have worked. I have tried following the examples on pg.s 10-14 and 10-15 of the Vectorworks version 10 users guide.

I noticed there is a PCB123 folder in the V11 program. I was not able to locate a reference in the help search, can someone tell me the use of PCB123 in V11. I have used PCB123 to make pcb,s and was wondering if a drawing made in V11 can be converted to a layout in PCB123? I looked in the disc and could not find the folder,I wonder how it ended up in there? [ 07-15-2004, 07:53 AM: Message edited by: mdilday ]

Katie, Thanks!

I use VW for electronics most of the time. When I went into the Resource Browser there were only the electroncis folders present. How do I get the other resources to appear, I was looking to insert a door symbol into a drawing? I have a picture that I can post, if there is a way to do so? Could this be a result of my recent upgrade to 10.5.1? [ 01-30-2004, 02:18 PM: Message edited by: mdilday ]

Kristen, The layerys will probably work, the issue I have is with my drawing. The drawing is identical between each 6 except the change in numbering. Theser are identical setups at seperate locations. Thanks

Kristen, I have several objects, same type but different sizes, that are too large(drawn to full scale) to fit on one drawing. I want to have both drawings referenced to the same file when it is opened. Excell has the option that one can create multiple sheets(can have different names) for the same file, these are displayed at the bottom of the page and accessed by selecting that sheet name.

Kristen, My goal was to be able to make multiple sheets attached to the same drawing. I want to make a file but the panels are much larger than I the space on my templates. This will also help me organize them by size when each sheep has a specific name. I have used Excell to create a file with multiple sheets where all information pertains to that file. Thanks for the other information, solved another question.
