  1. We have had a bug where one design layer (the layer that that was active when the files was last saved and closed) will intermittently (~5% of the time) change from the previous scale to 1:1 scale. Approximately 50% if the time we get this first bug, we will get a 2nd bug where when we manually changing the design layer scale to the correct scale, when you click OK, it will change the scale of a different design layer to 1:1 scale. We have found that we can get around it by changing the active design layer and NOT? saving the file and reopening the file. If the file is saved, it saves the bug and continues when opening the file. With my limited bug fixing experience, this tells me it's on the app level and not the file level? I do not have a screencast of this happening but will try to get one. Thoughts? Vectorworks 2023 SP4 - Windows 10 & Windows 11
  2. Ahh, got it. Can you duplicate an existing saved view "template" and modify it so it has the desired settings? We are trying to set up jobs with the correct saved views based on input from the user on number of sheets, detail sheets. etc. Do you know if the SDK can do it? Thanks!
  3. No, my question was actually aimed at trying to fix a custom 2D Path plugin object that I have created that creates shearwall objects that use these polygons. We use this method to modify the polygons since it is by far the fastest way of doing it. If I could get Vectorworks to fix their issue with revision clouds, it would in turn fix my issue with my custom 2D path plugin object. It has since been fixed so I am happy regarding this item.
  4. I am trying to programmatically change saved view settings but it seems like editing some of these items are limited. I have been able to find that the active class setting of the saved view using: ovSheetSaveActiveClass = 460; // Sint32, read-only, the active class internal Index of the saved view savedViewActiveClass := GetObjectVariableInt(savedViewHandle, 460); but the setting is read-only. The active class internalIndex of the saved view is returned but I cannot change it. Is there any other way I can change it? Why are there such limitations?
  5. Every time we insert an item into Vectorworks that has a little window to insert dimensions/angles (as shown below), a 2nd application window will pop on the taskbar until you are done inserting the item. Does anybody know why this is happening and a way to get this to stop? Using Vectorworks 2023 SP4 on Windows 10.
  6. I have developed plugins with Vectorscript and have created a few small python scripts. I'm looking at going a little deeper and running into roadblocks. 1. I want to use an python external package called pandas which makes joining and merging data sets and python objects easier. I am struggling on figuring out the process of adding external packages specifically with vectorworks. (There are a few threads that mention external packages but I cant follow their initial setup.) They also mention an "external packages" folder in the users folder. I don't see that folder so is it just a folder in my vw users folder. Did they manually create this folder? 2. If this package in included in a deployment of a Vectorworks plugin, how does the implementation of the external package reach the end user? Does the package have to be installed on each users machine? Thanks for any info! Tyler vw 2022 SP3.1 on windows 10
  7. Any update on this? We are having stability issues around in the organization dialog as well causing VW to crash. Can't duplicate or change order of design layers in some cases. VB-165189 doesn't looks like it has been addressed in any of the service packs so far.
  8. Just following up on this. This issue has been fixed in Vectorworks 2020 and was a bug that effected 2d path objects in general. (plugin or not). The revision cloud object was also affected by this bug. I have been told that this has been fixed in the latest service pack of Vectorworks 2019 as well.
  9. Including some more info: I am importing a csv file to a vectorworks worksheet.
  10. Part of our workflow involves importing worksheets that in turn updates plugin objects. My issue is with the "Import Worksheet" command. If I import a worksheet, it sporadically changes the number format of various cells. I narrowed it down to some text that i have in some of the cells. More specifically, the "6x Post Min. / 8" Stemwall Min." is causing all the numbers after that to get converted to the wrong number type. You can see the effect on the data below. Obviously, this is a bug that needs to get fixed. Seems like the text is not isolated from the format and is somehow changing the format of future cells. Thanks, Tyler You can see the effect on our plugin object below. This requires is to go in and manually change every one so it has the correct format. Tyler Vectorworks 2020
  11. Importing worksheets takes too long in vw 2019 to the point of users wondering if vw crashed or not. Importing a csv file that used to take ~10 seconds in vw 2017 now takes ~30 seconds. Please fix!
  12. Seems like all 2D Path Objects are broken in this manner in Vectorworks 2019. Vectorworks.....please fix!! This same issue is severely hindering the usability of a custom plugin object that is important to our firm that we have used and developed for 8+ years.
  13. I modify revision clouds with add and subtract surface commands. For some reason, Vectorworks 2019 remembers the previous configuration and will erase the previous modifications made to the revision cloud. This worked in previous versions of Vectorworks. The lastest service pack vectorworks SP4 does not fix the issue. This does not only effect adding and clipping surfaces.... it effects moves. If you move the revision cloud and then add a surface, the resultant revision cloud will reflect the cloud BEFORE you moved it. I had a similar issue before with a 2D Path Plugin Object that I created, but there was no response. I am having the same exact issue with the cloud revision tool. Adding a surface to the original revision cloud: Then i revise the cloud again by adding another surface: The final shape does not reflect the 1st add surface command.
  14. Can 2D Path Plugin event based objects please be fixed? They do not work correctly. When moving objects, it still seems to have the previous location in memory. When using clipping/adding surfaces to object, it still seems to have the previous path in memory and future adds/clips negates the changes that you made previously to the 2d path. Vectorworks support states they don't support custom plugins, but this problem is Vectorworks having bugs in their platform. This was introduced in version 2019. The only half workaround I have found is the force the object to enter reshape mode. However, even this does not work all the time and leaves the user in the wrong mode to continue the workflow. Any help would be appreciated!!
  15. I have a 2D Path Object that has been in use for years and has worked perfectly. It is a 2D Path Plugin Object with extended properties. It is event enabled and allows it to respond to surface operations (add/Intersect/clip surface) which has worked exactly as we wanted it to in Vectorworks 2017 and before. It is based on example 7 in http://www.vectorlab.info/index.php?title=Events (which the Vectorscript Function Reference links to for event enabled objects) Now in Vectorworks 2019, it does not respond properly to add/intersect/clip surfaces (or even just moving the object). It may work properly the first time, but then any operation you try to do after than looks at the original geometry of the 2D Path and not the new geometry or location of the object. The only way to reset it to the new path that you created is by double clicking into the object so that the vertex control points show up for editing. After that the geometery is reset. The bug is present if you just copy and paste example 7 into a plugin and make the plugin event enabled. This is a critical bug for us and would like to get it resolved (or at least a workaround). Thanks
