    controlling a mirrored PIO

    in Vectorscript

    Posted

    Thanks for the script. I tried it and the mirrored PIO now flips if it is manually stretched or if the length is changed in the OIP so both ways have the same effect which is good. Unfortunately it is the opposite effect from what I'm looking for (I don't want it to flip) and it still doesn't seem to know if it has been manually stretched or stretched through the OIP. If you put a Rotate in an IsObjectFlipped IF THEN statement it will rotate when the length is changed in the OIP but not when it is manually stretched.

    I have a mirrored linear object PIO that is misbehaving. If I change its length in the object info palate it stretches as I would expect, but if I stretch it with the mouse it flips itself over. And if I add an IsObjectFlipped it only responds to that if altered in the object info palate not if stretched by the mouse. Is there some way of correcting the mirror?

    Thank you

    Page setup problem in Tiger

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm having a curious problem with the page setup in tiger (10.4.1). When I create a new file, Vectorworks will crash when I go to page setup. This happens every time which basically means that I can't print anything. The same thing happens with some old files, but not all. This happens in version 10 and version 11.5 and on three different computers (2.7 G5s). I have purged out all of the printers and just added one but still the same problem. And yes, I have repaired my permissions. Any one else having this problem? Any solutions?

    critical openDWG error

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    This problem has been popping up more often lately. We will get thirty or so DWGs from consultants, and a few of them will have the critical openDWG error problem (import fails with the error message "critical openDWG error" and the program quits). This happens with both 10.5 and 11. There was some earlier discussion of this on the tech board but no solutions. Other than have them convert to DXF, is there anything I can do or that I can tell the consultants to do? We are using Macs with OS 10.3.

    symbols losing association with walls

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I?m having a very strange symbol problem. I have a floor plan with numerous units, some are symbols and some are groups. If I copy the whole drawing and paste it into a new document one of the units that is a group has all of the symbols in walls lose their association with the wall. What I mean by that is that you can see the symbols, but they are no longer cutting the wall and if you move the wall the symbol disappears. Also, if you move the whole group, the symbols will stay where they are but still have some connection to the wall they were originally placed in. More strangeness, if you just select the group with none of the other units, it pastes in just fine. Anyone have any thoughts on a cause and a cure?

    PSStream printing error

    Thanks for responding so quickly.

    I have tried changing the page setup, saving then reopening. I have tried deleting the custom presets. I have tried reinstalling the print drivers. Yes, I even tried fixing the permissions.

    The file prints on other computers, and the file will print from the original computer if it is saved as a PDF and printed out of Acrobat.

    By the way, it is a Mac running OS 10.2.7 and VectorWorks 10.5 and the printers are an HP 800 and an HP 1055cm.
