[Multi-pane Saved Views.]

Nice, but I want Vectorworks to remember the multi-pane setup and the views in each pane.

[Multi-pane Saved Views.]

I want to be able to make saved views of my multi pane view setups.

 

[I want to dimension a right iso sheet layer viewport.]

Dimensioning should be placed as viewport annotations, but I cannot add dimensions that way if my VP view is right ISO. I want that ability. I added these dimensions in the design layer. Doing that makes my drawing far more complicated than it should be.

Fixed in VW 2025 Update 2.

[When I change a symbol's name I want the symbol name in my worksheet to change?]

Thanks @michaelk and @Pat Stanford for the workaround suggestions.

I like the direction you're thinking
@Bruce Kieffer
And it it extends to other Criteria too. Say we're cleaning up the file structure, renaming Classes, Layers, etc. fixing typos...  It would be helpful and intuitive if VW were to ask 'do you want to use new names in existing Worksheets?'

&/or when next recalculating the Worksheet a dialogue could suggest 'your previously wonderful worksheet now appears to be broken - do you want help fixing it by substituting broken criteria with the new names'  Yes, this would require a new Worksheet Manager tool but that would have wide ranging benefits and expansion possibilities.

My feelings exactly.

[When I change a symbol's name I want the symbol name in my worksheet to change?]

I have a worksheet that counts symbols by symbol name. If I change a symbol's name in the RM, then my worksheet losses that symbol's reference, and I have to edit the worksheet's criteria and reassociate the symbol's to its revised name. Is there a way to update the worksheet to recognize the symbols revised name?

[How do I extrude a profile shape that's a symbol?]

OK, I'll move on. Thanks. Sad!

[How do I extrude a profile shape that's a symbol?]

I made a profile shape that I want to extrude, but I'm not sure the profile is correct, so I made it a symbol thinking I could later come back and modify the symbol's profile shape and then all the extrudes would change. I tried to extrude the symbol, but no luck. Is there a way to do this?

 

[Home Screen templates missing?]

No go on the refresh.

No go with renaming the user folder. Vectorworks really did not like that. It wanted my serial #. OK. I added it, then Vectorworks said I had reached my limit.

Yes I am using .sta files, in fact I made a few new templates from the file menu and none of those show on the Home screen either.

 

I'm going to give up on this and I will just open templates using file/new use template.

[Home Screen templates missing?]

I checked and I have all set up correctly. I even added a Workgroup folder and placed a template in that. I restarted Vectorworks a few times, and restarted my Mac, but still nothing shows in the Home Templates tab.

[Home Screen templates missing?]

Templates do not show in the "Templates" tab on my Home Screen, but I do have a template. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong?

 

[Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?]

This is a problem with Mac OS Sequoia and Vectorworks 2025. I can now reproduce the problem. If I right click an object and hold the mouse button down and go to a command, then the command does not work. If I right click an object and release the mouse button down and go to a command, then the command works. Another user confirm they see this same behavior.

[Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?]

More testing is making me wonder if this is a conflict with Keyboard Maestro. There's something definitely strange going on. If I long pause on a Vectorworks 2025 contextual menu item, click it, then it works, and then all the context menu commands work after the first one does. Keyboard Maestro running or not. I hate troubleshooting!

[Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?]

I found the problem. It's a conflict with Keyboard Maestro. I don't have this problem with Vectorworks 2024, or any other app. I let support know I found the conflict. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Are you running antivirus software? This sounds like something is blocking parts of Vectorworks.

No, but I did think about booting in Safe Mode. And I have a few other things to try this morning before I call support again.

No, but I did think about booting in Safe Mode. And I have a few other things to try this morning before I call support again.

[Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?]

Nope. No fix. Sad. Now what?

[Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?]

I found out today that none of my contextual menu commands are working. I'm reinstalling Vectorworks now. I sure hope that fixes this problem.

[Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?]

I will call support tomorrow.

Try adding it to the Document Context menu instead. 

I tried that too and it still does not work.

[Placing Hide Selected Objects in object context menu does not work?]

I (with great difficulty) added the Hide Selected Objects command in my object context menu, but it does not work there. The menu command does work. Anyone else notice this issue?

[Is there a way to find similarly named layers, sheet layer, viewports, and saved views at once?]

9 minutes ago, Pat Stanford said:

That would be a script.  I won't have time to think about this for at least a couple of weeks. Hopefully someone else chimes in sooner.

Thanks Pat, don't do work on it. I don't have much need for that functionality beyond last night. I was just wondering if was built into Vectorworks and I did not know.

[Is there a way to find similarly named layers, sheet layer, viewports, and saved views at once?]

Each palette has its own search field, and Quick Search only searches Tools and Menus or both simultaneously. I want to simultaneously search the layers, sheet layer, viewports, and saved views palettes.
