    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.
  2. Bruce Kieffer
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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?
  12. Bruce Kieffer
    Thanks @Tom W. It works perfect.

    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.
  14. Bruce Kieffer
    Yes it does! I've seen #### while editing the worksheet, but I don't recall seeing just one # outside of edit mode.
  15. Bruce Kieffer
    It looks like this. What does it mean? I know what --- means, but I don't know what # means.
  16. Bruce Kieffer
    Got it. I think I do want them to be world based. I need to experiment. I wish that formatting data tags was simpler.
  17. Bruce Kieffer
    I do have them set that way. Maybe I should try turning that off?
  18. Bruce Kieffer
    Yes I am. Will do, but first I need to determine the cause, or the sequence of events.
  19. Bruce Kieffer
    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?

    I have an M1 iMac with an LG 27" Fine Line 5K second display.

    .swap files are suppose to be temporary. That was not true for me. When I turned off iCloud Documents & Desktop they stopped being created.
  22. Bruce Kieffer
    Yep, exactly. And I agree that constancy with tools would make working with Vectorworks easier.
  23. Bruce Kieffer
    Thanks @Nikolay Zhelyazkov I understand that is how the Create Data Tag command works, but I am making Data Tags to name Sheet Layers and file names. Those are not objects. Like this where the file name data tag is at the top left, the sheet name is bottom center. I created those tags by modifying an existing data tag (style).

    Another of the great Vectorworks mysteries. It does not work last night, I do nothing, it works this morning.
  25. Bruce Kieffer
    I've had this happen before and I can't remember the fix. When I set a symbol's thumbnail render mode to Shaded I see nothing. That does not happen on all of my symbols. What is the fix?
