Feeling a little out of the loop here...what and where is the"BIM+Vectorworks White Paper"??
-
I was just wondering if the current version of VWA has a tool to offset walls?
-
perhaps this is old news, but if would be nice if when the wall tool is used for exterior walls such as brick veneer or masnory the elevation and model views would actually show the materials similar to Revit.
-
I also use the Architects Font Pack (Mr Hand) and ordered both the true type and postscript versions. If you are using the postscript versions there should not be a problem.
-
I use "Mr Hand" and "Heavy Hand", which are part of the Architect's Font Pack. Both true type and postscript versions are included. I think you can find them at ObjectsOnline.com there is also a reference to them at the VW website, third-party add on products, I think. By the way, I also use a true type Graphite without having any problems. HTH

Glad I was able to help! Fred

This is sort of related, when I print from 8.5 on a G3 with carbon lib 1.6 to one of my old stylewriter 1200 or 2500 the same thing happens to vertical dimensions. Using the HP 952 all is well. Perhaps the DJ100 is not optimized for carban lib 1.6??

vectordepot has what you want -
A dozen things that annoy me with VW 2D interface
FRED JOHNSON replied to Mbuck's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I noticed (in your profile) that you are in Australia... you might consider contacting Julian carr who has developed some excellent add-ons for VW which may give you some of the features you want. Just a thought. Fred -
I have always felt that text should also be "auto-classing"... without any extra scriptwork... any other support for this feature??
-
I did not see anything anywhere regarding VW 10's ability to import a pdf image.. If this does not currently exist can it be a "wish list" item?
-
OK, I'm on a mac G3 running OS9.x & HP330, with no plans to upgrade to OSX in the near future. I'm thinking of upgrading to VWA10 and my plotter driver to Microspot Graphic Pack 5.1.2. My total cost is would be around $875...not chump change. Can someone tell me if I will have ANY problems PLOTTING before I take this plunge?? All advice, so far, has been GO FOR IT!!

Real-time Elevations
FRED JOHNSON replied to Ken's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
Some time ago I downloaded a script which takes the model and generates the four building elevations on a separate layer - linked to the model. This script is nolonger available and I have no idea who wrote it. I tried to e-mail it to VectorDepot but it woiuld not go for some reason. I will try and post it there again. -
Text Class
FRED JOHNSON replied to FRED JOHNSON's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
I know... its the going back and forth that I don't like. The dimension class works automatically and a similar thing for text would be very gratefully received. -
Maybe this has been already done but I was wondering why Text does not "autoclass". It seems to me that this would be a natural feature.
-
Herman, Need more info... Mac or PC? If Mac, what system?
-
I think it would be nice if the Layers Window could be incorporated into some sort of "floating" pallet. I know it pulls down and takes a click to change layers but to do more you must open the layers window, ditto classes. Is a floating platted for each a reasonable direction?
-
Just wondering what kind of performance I can expect using vwa10 under OS9.x.. are there any features I would lose...how does the interface appear onscreen. I want to upgrade vwa but OSX has no great appeal for me at the moment.

VW Architect Prints, but VW Architect 9.0.1 does NOT??
FRED JOHNSON replied to Vik Asrani's question in Troubleshooting
Vik, I have inquired about this myself...the answer seems to be that if you are using OS9.x and MacPlot Pro you will have to upgrade to the latest version of MacPlot Raste to plot a carbon application (VW 9.5 and up. If you are using OS10x you will need the Microspot X-rip driver. There is a discount cost for upgrades and using VW, but the discount is not much. HTH, Fred -
Thanks Katie, as usual you have answered my question. I intend to upgrade as soon as possible.
-
This is sort of related... In preparation to upgrading to VWA10 I downloaded CarbonLib 1.6 (I will be staying with 9.x for awhile) Now that I have 1.6 what do I do with it - exact directions would be helpful!
-
kATIE, Thanks for the help - I already downloaded it to another mac and I will copy in on the other machine via zip and follow you instructions. KEVIN, Thanks also but the mac I'm installing it on is not connected to the internet.
