    Scale objects by area

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted

    Currently, to scale an object so its area is a specified size, I need to manually compute a scale factor with a calculator and then use that. I think it would be nice if the "Scale Objects..." dialog had a "symmetric by area" option, in which I put in the existing area and wanted area, and VW does the required square root calculation for me.

    This might be relevant. I went and had a look at the User Library folder (the one buried in ~/Library/Application Support) and it's got a bunch of folders, all of which are empty:

    Hello guys,

    I'm from the engineering team. Thanks for the help.

    Could you, please, provide me with these (defaultContent.db, defaultContent.db.proxy) files?

     

    Thanks

    Ah. I don't actually have those files. I just looked at the extensions, not the file names. My apologies.

    Followup questions from engineering:

     

    "Could you, please, ask if he has defaultContent.db, defaultContent.db.proxy files in his Libraries folder?

    And just in case can he check the Permissions for the Library folder?"

    (To check the permissions of the Library folder, right click on it and choose "Get Info" and then post a screenshot of the permissions on the bottom please.)

    I have both those files in the Libraries folder.


    Permissions are 0777 (I was seeing if this would help, the answer is no):

    And also engineering asks to clarify: Did you EVER have an installation of Vectorworks 2017 prior to the full installer that also included SP1? Or were your only installations from the 2017 SP1 installer in the first place?

     

    No to the first, yes to the second. First install was the NZ version of 2017, which came with SP1.

    This is happening on every computer in the office. I've attached system profiles for two of them (the rest are similar machines).

    Is your iMac a 5k, or other retina resolution? We have had users hitting a problem when the display resolution of the animation (determined by the size of the drawing window) is high. You can confirm that this is the issue by resizing your drawing window to around a quarter of your screen size and trying the animation again.

    Yup, it's a 5K iMac. Making the window small fixes it. Thanks Jim.

    Solar Animation stopping after 2 frames

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted · Edited by yomcat

    I posted this on the old forum, but it seems to have disappeared.

    I'm running VW2016 SP4 on OS X 10.11.6 with Architect and RW.

    I've got a brand new 27" iMac, and now (it worked perfectly on my old computer, with exactly the same software) whenever I run solar animations, it renders two frames and then gives up without an error. This happens even on a brand new file, with only a helidon object in it. I've reinstalled VW and the same behaviour occurs.

    Any ideas?

    Console prints out a bunch of stuff that seems relevant when I try to run one:
