Thanks Jesse. That's EXACTLY what I needed. Every time I do anything with a dialog handler I feel like I'm trying to learn organic chemistry. It is that way because that's the way it is.

I'm doing what I swore I'd never do and making a "complicated" dialog. It's a simple script - not part of a plug-in. I'd like to use sliders. I got the sliders working, but I can't figure out how to have the sliders read a record field and set themselves to reflect the current value. It works with text or numeric values in the dialog. They will set themselves to the current value, accept an input and write the value to the record. I'm finding sliders will change the values but won't start at the existing value. What am I missing?

Translation: I'm new to VW, following some basic learning tutorials I've come to this Quick Start tutorial: Let's set the stage and I'm having problems trying to establish a room from a rectangle. Every time I give the command to make the room it does the walls but does not make the floor. And he tells me the following: you can't create a slabe from a self-intersecting contour. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if I need to change any parameters?

Select the object, look in the OIP in the Data tab. Sometimes you need to move the dividers around to see everything. You should be able to select the record in the top window and enter the data in the fields below. If you have hundreds of objects to search through create a report that reports all the fields of all the additional record formats. It will be much faster. If that doesn't work for you post a file with a few of the objects.

I think there are three things going on: 1. The concrete hatches are kind of busy. They are page based scale and not even rendering usefully in the area available. I tried just deleting those hatches and it got better. 2. The Sheet DPI is set to 600. I tried turning it down to 150 and the speed was much more reasonable, with no noticeable degradation in the image. 3. The smoothing angle in the render settings is 5º. You can easily go up to 20º or 30º and not notice the difference.

Translation: Hello I am looking to make an excel type table for a traditional light kit with a 100 projectors I have the plan of the kit I just want to make a table by position and type number of projectors and gelatin and put the blank DMX address in the last column. it is for the assignment of local dimmers. And I would like to put it on a presentation board Thank you in advance for your help

Does the wall have a height?

Convert to DWG.zip

If you post it here someone will convert it for you. Start a new reply. At the bottom of the reply window will be an attachment area.

Check the classes. Your saved view might be setting the 2D part of the truss to invisible.

Mac or PC? Might be a long shot, but… Is the publish pdf option set to rasterize?

I tried just a copy paste to a blank document. The tag on the green area needed to be re associated, but it worked fine. When I tried to reassociate in the original drawing in the annotation space it wouldn't work. Tried dupicating another polygon and its tag. Used the Eyedropper tool to transfer the record data and the graphic attributes. Reshaped the polygon. Works. I have no idea.

The attached file shows how to do it for callouts and keynote legends. HOWEVER: it is undocumented and probably for a good reason. ='Callout'.'Text' will return the text of a callout. And you're right it's probably not in the help pages and it isn't an option in the worksheet database GUI. I'm guessing that it's because the callouts can be linked to a database. Normally, if you change a callout text you are then prompted with options for how and if you want those changes to take effect in the database. So if you are not using the notes database I have found that using this worksheet doesn't cause any damage and is very useful for managing callout text. Your milage may vary. Use at your own risk. General notes are more complicated. Every note is assigned a unique universal identifier that is a (if I remember) 32 digit hexadecimal number generated by VW. The database lives in either an .xml file or a .txt tab delimited file. This is also how callout database notes are handled. Not possible to manage directly with worksheets. Especially in multi seat environments with the database hosted on a server. I have had some success using a VW script to generate UUIDs and creating the tab delimited files from excel. Once you have the .txt you can read and edit it. But I hardly ever did. Callouts in worksheets.vwx

That's weird. Is there anything under the worksheet that the cursor is trying to interact with? Can you post a 2023 file with that worksheet some objects that meet the criteria?

I'm trapped in a big dark room for the next few days. But I'll try to take a look at it.
