That may be a bug. I would have thought that =concat(VALUE(TXT(LENGTH, 'inches')),'"') would have worked. But it doesn't. What does work is click on any cell in that column, choose Format Cells… > Number Tab > Trailer: "

Is the file suffix .vwxw? Does the file name have an underscore followed by your initials (or something similar)? Are you using a custom workspace?

Exporting to Old Version without Access to New Version

The answer is yes. But there are a couple things going on. To apply a record format to a symbol definition, (as opposed to an instance of the symbol) there are two options: While in the edit space for the symbol (either 2D or 3D) make sure nothing is selected. -The Shape Tab in the OIP says "no Selection" - Then in the Data Tab click Attach Record and select the record. This attaches that record to the symbol definition. You can set the default values for the record fields right there. In the resource manager right click on the symbol and choose Attach Record…., etc. To count the clamps with the record attached make sure that in the database criteria you check the boxes to search within symbols and/or plug-in objects. That will allow the database to "see" nested objects.

Lighting Fixture Symbols Rearranged in 2024
michaelk replied to Marty Slamhammer's topic in Entertainment
Can you post a file with a symbol that is misbehaving? -
Worksheets can't change properties of objects that are not in a record without a little tinkering. The location of an object (and the class, layer, etc.) are not part of the record of an object. So the worksheet can report it, but not change it. Same issue with the width of a rectangle, the radius of a circle, the depth of an extrude. Properties. Not in a record. Worksheets can change record values but not property values. There is a worksheet trick accomplish what you want, however. See this thread: Attached is a 2025 version of the file. It works by running a small script triggered inside the worksheet cell. You will get a warning about running a script the first time you run it. Make sure these scripts are in the resource manager of the file you are working on. Use the exact same database call in the database header row. move it again v2025.vwx

@Shelby Burgess Glad you're enjoying it 🙂

It looks like your file was created with an illegal version of Vectorworks. When you try to open the file it switches to a web browser and opens this page: http://piracy.vectorworks.net/IllegalFile.php?

I don't think I have anything currently installed that will go back that far. It would need to be VW2016? I'll try firing up something from the stack to see if it still boots :-). PS. What VM are you using? -
