[Callout leader shoulder?]

Is there a setting to move the callout leader shoulder up or down relative to the callout text?

Thanks @Jonathan Pickup I use that too. I have it set too mouse hover and press the command key.

[Is there a way to update a Current Date data tag?]

I realize I could delete and "set" a new version of the data tag. Just wondering if there's a faster way?

Thanks @rDesign, that's more than I want to do, and I don't want to mess with other colors on my screen. I will continue to use the OS Accessibility settings zoom I set up. I can see the text if I zoom in about 300%. Easy enough to do with my mouse's scroll wheel.

Give me (us) the option to change the green text color of RM resources like these. I am color blind, and I can hardly see this text.

 

[Change Data Tag Style Text Color in RM?]

No I don't think so. This is hard coded. The green text means the Data Tags are page based, the red means they are world based. 

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".

[Change Data Tag Style Text Color in RM?]

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.

It appears we are all Mac users.  There is another quirk I see every so often.  Does anyone else see this?

 

If I choose the "Flyover" tool for example, the icon on the screen remains the Arrow Cursor.  It still works, but a clue that I should save my work and "Revert to Saved".

 

 

 

 

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

[Worksheet Title formula for Data Tag?]

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.

I will file a bug report if I get it figured out.

[Snapping stops working when editing deeply nested objects.]

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?]

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.

[Worksheet Title formula for Data Tag?]

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:

 

[Snapping stops working when editing deeply nested objects.]

@Tom W. How do I file a bug report?

[Snapping stops working when editing deeply nested objects.]

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?

Object Name - #N#

Thanks @Tom W. It works perfect.

 

[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?]

Does it mean the column is not wide enough?

 

Yes it does! I've seen #### while editing the worksheet, but I don't recall seeing just one # outside of edit mode.

[# sign in worksheet cell. What does it mean?]

It looks like this. What does it mean? I know what --- means, but I don't know what # means.

 

[What might cause Data Tags font size and text position to change?]

If you have 'Use world-based units' enabled the size of the tag will vary depending on the scale of the layer/viewport. With it disabled the tag will be page-based, which is the default/normal state for data tags.

Got it. I think I do want them to be world based. I need to experiment. I wish that formatting data tags was simpler.

Maybe the "Use real dimensions" of the Panel info Object option?

I do have them set that way. Maybe I should try turning that off?

Are you using a Text Style, specifically a Class Text Style in those data tags? I believe that is another thread floating around about a problem with Data Tags using Class Text Style and forgetting that style.

Yes I am.

If you have a reproducible case, please make sure to file it as a bug.

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

[What might cause Data Tags font size and text position to change?]

My fonts size of some Data Tags, and the positions of some Data Tags, change for no reason that I can tell. What might be making them change?

.swap files are suppose to be temporary. That was not true for me. When I turned off iCloud Documents & Desktop they stopped being created.
