The stairs are using the texture Composite Decking Azek Weathered Teak RT. That texture has the hatch Board 200mm HF imbedded in it. The lines you are seeing in hidden line view are that hatch. You can either edit the renderworks texture and remove the imbedded hatch or just delete the hatch from the resource manager and that will get rid of those lines in hidden line view.

Jesse That's really fun.

Nice. I tried it and got the syntax wrong. Well done!

But not always. I'm able to get it to fail when pasting it into a new drawing at the origin. Sometimes.

I tried all those too. Have you tried opening a blank file drawing a curved wall, then pasting in the "bad" wall? That worked for me.

Yep. Still there.

I'm seeing the same thing. I could have sworn that wildcards on layer names used to work. I wonder if there is a way to use the Left function or a Substring function in the database formula to do what you want. @PatStanford?

It's probably not it, but the only difference I can see under the hood in a wall that works and a wall that doesn't is an undocumented real number setting. 606. But I can't find a listing for 606 in the Object Selectors Appendix. Must be a SDK thing? SetObjectVariableReal(LNewObj,606,141841.394834864971926);

Very strange. I'm seeing the same issue you see. More data: Take your misbehaving wall and copy it into a blank file. Same problem. Draw a new curved wall. Same problem. Start a new file. Draw a curved wall. All good. Copy misbehaving wall into this file. All good. Wall is fixed. Copy same wall - now working - back to your file. Problem returns. I suspected for a while that it could be a distance from origin problem. But now I think not.

No. I still have the Attach Record in the contextual menu when right clicking on symbols, including red symbols.

I don't think so. I know I've had 4 versions w/ 2 licenses running at the same time. I just wish you could copy and paste from one version to another.

Yes you can. Make a record format with a field for each piece of data you want to include. In the Resource Manager attach that record to the symbol. In the symbol put in dummy text then Tools>Records>Link Text to Record and pick the record and field for that text. I'll attach an example. And a link to Sam Jones' tool where he has already figured this out 🙂 http://www.autoplotvw.com Link Text To Record.vwx

It is possible. But I’ve never tried using only wildcards. Since you don’t care what the device name is, can you remove it from the criteria? Does that make it work? Or use just one asterisk for the device name wildcard

@KWiley I've been using 2024 for what seems like 17 hours a day for a couple months with no lags or slowdowns. What computer are you using? What OS? If you would like to post a slow file here or send it in a PM Pat or I could test it for you to see if there is something in the file that's causing problems.

The one setting you haven't checked is the mode of the selection tool. Make the selection tool active (arrow in the basic tool palette). The default keyboard shortcut is X. I think you are the in first mode of the first mode group. The default keyboard shortcut to cycle through these modes is U. Make either the second or third mode active and the handles will reappear.

Here's the weird thing (one of the weird things) about worksheets. And this is why the database header row has 2 ways of showing and hiding. The worksheet resource is not the same thing as the worksheet image. You can place a worksheet from the same resource in the resource manager on every Sheet Layer. But each instance (or image) of the worksheet can have a different scale factor, different fill, different line color, different opacities - or can have its header shown or hidden. Because every instance/image of the worksheet is from the same worksheet resource in the resource manager, the content is identical. But they can appear somewhat different on the page.

You can do that with just math. Exactly like you would in Excel. [Cell reference] *1.15 will give you the cell + 15%s or [Cell reference]*.15 will give you 15% of the cell. Example attached. Worksheet + Percentage.vwx

Anybody else seeing this issue with Railings - or am I setting them up wrong? Guardrail with a facia post. Even with a 0 inset I still get an inset. I can't get the corner posts to display correctly. Outside corners are always bisecting. Inside corners have two posts. Railing Guardrail Post.vwx

@Matharchi what render mode is your elevation?

If you have the worksheet placed in the drawing: In the OIP for the worksheet uncheck "Show Database Headers" If you are looking at the open worksheet, go to View (the one in the worksheet) and uncheck Database Headers. But in the open worksheet there is no need to hide the database header, other than aesthetics.

A while ago @Pat Stanford and I came up with a script for doing this. I'll attach it here. Your signature says you are using 2016. If that's still true let me know and I'll either post the raw script or export back. Convert Text to Callout Script.vwx

I'm not seeing any difference between 2023 and 2024 in this behavior. I still see the same options when right clicking. Are you using a custom workspace? If so, is it different in a stock workspace?

Sorry if this disappoints. Those files are empty except for a title block that is just geometry, not a parametric title block. Convert to DWG 2.zip
