    Suspend Snapping

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted

    Hi Benson

    Thanks, the behaviour is as you described. "Snap suspension does not defeat the Select tool's ability to select".

    I would have thought with no snaps turned on, then you wouldn't be able to snap or select anything.

    Not sure about how others would prefer it, but I'd like this added as a preference so that snap suspension actually suspends all snapping & selecting.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Whenever I cut a section through a DTM, I get the correct section, but it always has a mirrored copy.

    Is this how it is supposed to be?

    I'd like to attach an image but I can't see how?

    Thanks

    Fit Walls to Objects

    in Architecture

    Hi

    When using the fit walls to objects command, the tops of the walls seem to remain horizontal. This causes some weird junctions at the corners when fitting the walls to a sloping roof. Is there a way to have the tops of the walls slope to match what they are being fitted to?

    Thanks

    Callout Tool

    in Architecture

    Posted

    Sorry if this is a basic question but, recently tried the Callout tool after not using it for some years.

    It appears that the callout keynote numbering is specific to the layer it is drawn on?

    So you could reference the same note on two different layers and they would have different keynote numbers.

    If this is correct, how would you go about having the same number on all layers?

    Thanks

    Arrow Head

    in General Discussion

    Hi

    Sorry I thought this was an easy thing to correct, but obviously not. There is no preferences button on the 'Leader Line Simple' tool. We don't like the way the 'Leader Line' tool works with it's fixed shoulder length.

    Using class settings does force the leader line to use the correct arrow head, but this is a work-around that is clumsy. Even with the correct arrow head selected in the attributes palette the leader line simple tool ignores that as uses it's default solid arrow head.

    Never mind, we'll use polygons & not use the leader line tools.

    Thanks

    Arrow Head

    Yeah, that's an option, but it takes an extra step to add an arrow head to the polygon. The leader line simple tool is obviously meant for the task but always uses a default closed arrow head & we can't see where this is set?

    Hi

    Sorry for the simple question but this is driving people in our office crazy.

    How do you set the default arrow head on the "Leader Line Simple" tool to use marker number 1 style? It keeps defaulting to a solid filled arrow head. We want it to be an open arrow using the dimension thickness.

    Thanks

    Unable to save

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    We have an office with mainly windows machines but have a couple of macs also - with a Linux server. We have been operating fine for a number of years but in the last few months there has been an intermittent error when the Macs try and save to the server. Saving to the hard disk is fine.

    The error message reads "Internal error - general failure encountered during disk I/O operation (failure on attempt to open file)

    The Macs are G4's & the OS version is 10.4.11

    VWA12.5.3

    Any possible solutions?

    We have our IT support company looking in to it too but they don't have any initial thoughts as to what might be causing it.

    Thanks

    Hi Katie

    It appears that I am logged in as administrator.

    But, I right clicked on the program shortcut & selected run as administrator & it opened!

    So thank you for pointing me in that direction.

    Only minor glitch now is that every time I open VW an box pops up asking whether to allow the "unidentified program" access to the computer. But I can live with that for now!

    Regards

    I don't know what version Kermit has but I have Vista Home Premium on a new Dell PC. VW version is 12.5

    It is so frustrating. The PC otherwise is working well it's only VW that won't run. Been using VW for months without even 1 crash.
