I wonder how many users have Fundamentals. The subscription cost difference between Fundamentals and Architect seems minimal to me, so why would a user cripple themselves to use Vectorworks without the navigation palette?
-

Does Fundamentals still lack the navigation palette? What other functionality does it lack? Is there a comparison graph showing what a certain version of Vectorworks includes over another version?

1) The selection tool is once again reverting to Lasso Marquee Mode on reboot. I quit with it on Rectangular Marquee Mode, and that's what I want when I boot Vectorworks. This was broken in the past, fixed, and now it's broken again.
2) Retain the sort order of layers.
3) Retain the sort order of sheet layers.

I found it! Vertical Position in the OIP. Fixed the spelling too!

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.
-
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.

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".

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

I too have no need for the Walls/Doors/Windows/Floors tools. Long ago in a different century I started with Fundamentals. Pretty much instantly I knew I had to get Architect so I would have the navigation palette. I suspect a user's needs have to be extremely simple to not need the navigation palette. I can't imagine how Vectorworks can be used without it. One of our group members bought Fundamentals, and they were always fighting to get around in their drawing. I recall posting about it here and someone replied that Fundamentals was crippleware.
Anyone here using Fundamentals? Chime in and tell us how you use it and how you manage withe the Nav Palette.
