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?
Bruce Kieffer posted a topic in General Discussion
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? -
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.

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.

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?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Troubleshooting
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?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Troubleshooting
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! -

Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Troubleshooting
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. -

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. -

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. -

@Rob C., Vectorworks stopped hosting community groups about 4 months ago. Our group held its last meeting in July. There are 5 groups remaining that have virtual meetings. Here's a link to a calendar showing their meetings. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=vectorworks.communities@gmail.com&ctz=America/New_York&pli=1

Symbol disappears when I view top/plan?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's question in Troubleshooting
Exactly what was going on. I found out a moment before you replied! -
This must be some setting I have goofed. My cabinets display fine in top view, but the bottom one disappears and changes to a group of rectangles when I look in top/plan view. How do I fix that?

I have data tags placed on sheet layers. Those tags are in my Data Tags class. If I've viewed a layer without the Data Tags class on, then I activate a sheet layer my data tags are not visible. I know I could create a saved view to solve this, but typically I just click a sheet later to view the sheet.

Any way to make this object think it's 2-1/8" wide?
Bruce Kieffer replied to Bruce Kieffer's topic in General Discussion
I tried adding a .01" x .01" extrude to the solid subtraction and that worked. It's there, but so small that I can't see it.
