Is there a way to update a Current Date data tag?
Bruce Kieffer posted a topic in General Discussion
I realize I could delete and "set" a new version of the data tag. Just wondering if there's a faster way? -
Change Data Tag Style Text Color in RM?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's topic in General Discussion
This is sad. I wish the designers would consider how the colors they choose affect color blind people. It's not just Vectorworks. I encounter this all the time. In this case it might be an easy fix to include allow changing the color in the interactive settings. I will post this "wish". -
Is there an interactive setting to change the color of the text for Data Tags in the RM? I can hardly see the color of the right hand text.

I often see two tool icons highlighted. I assume it's a bug.

Worksheet Title formula for Data Tag?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's topic in General Discussion
OK, so like I considered earlier, I set up a data tag to grab the text from the name field in the OIP. It's a bit of work, but easy enough. I copy the title of the worksheet, type into the OIP Name field "WS: " and then paste the worksheet title text. Then I associate the data tag to the worksheet. -
Snapping stops working when editing deeply nested objects.

I will file a bug report if I get it figured out. -
Snapping stops working when editing deeply nested objects.
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Troubleshooting
I just tired to create a simple file to send you @rDesign that would show the snapping problem. I opened a new blank file and placed a symbol that I have trouble snapping in my complex file when I drill into the symbol. No problems in the blank file, but still problems in my complex file. I don't know how to show you this problem easily. I will send you a file someday if I ever figure out how to reproduce it simply. -
Worksheet Title formula for Data Tag?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's topic in General Discussion
Thanks @Pat Stanford I was hoping for a simpler solution in the provided data tag formula options. I'll give your method a try, but I may just use the "name" part in the OIP. -
Is there a formula I can use to make the title of a worksheet appear in a data tag. I know about #N# where I can add a name in the OIP, but I want Vectorworks to pick up the worksheet title given in the RM. This one:

@Tom W. How do I file a bug report? -
Snapping stops working when editing deeply nested objects.
Bruce Kieffer posted a question in Troubleshooting
I have symbols nested inside of other symbols, and solid objects nested inside other solid objects. When I go to edit them, at a certain depth of nesting object snapping does not work. It's like three or more levels in. Is there a way to make object snapping work in this situation? Is there a workaround? -
Viewport Name Formula for Data Tag?

What is the formula to make the name "Viewport-12" appear in a Data Tag? I'm trying to create a data tag to pick up viewport names. I know how to get to the tag editor and the place to input the formula, but I can't find the correct formula from the available options.

# sign in worksheet cell. What does it mean?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's topic in General Discussion
Yes it does! I've seen #### while editing the worksheet, but I don't recall seeing just one # outside of edit mode. -

What might cause Data Tags font size and text position to change?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Troubleshooting
Got it. I think I do want them to be world based. I need to experiment. I wish that formatting data tags was simpler. -

Yes I am. Will do, but first I need to determine the cause, or the sequence of events. -

What are .swap files? Mac OS 14.2.1
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Troubleshooting
.swap files are suppose to be temporary. That was not true for me. When I turned off iCloud Documents & Desktop they stopped being created. -
Yep, exactly. And I agree that constancy with tools would make working with Vectorworks easier.
