[Oversized groups in 9.5.1 & 9.5.2]

We have also noticed this & would prefer the group to only include the actual objects - not the arc centre points.

[Problem drawing polylines]

Matthew, while you are suggesting easy ways of drawing...

Is there a way of drawing an arc with a defined arc length? I cannot find any tools to be able to do this.

The arc length is shown on the OI palette but it is not editable.

Hi Katie

Yes, this is what is happening.

Thanks for your reply.

[Unconstrained dimension tool]

When using the unconstrained dimension tool, if you pan (hold the space bar down) in the middle of dimensioning, the tool seems to stop working correctly. Has anyone else experienced this?

Using VWA 9.5.1, Win98

Thanks

[Arcs]

Hi Katie

Thanks for your reply.

I want to draw an arc (or curved wall) and be able to specify the radius & the arc length (not the chord length).

I have tried the arc by 3 points but I can't seem to get this tool to do that.

Regards

Brett

[Arcs]

It would be nice if there was an additional arc tool - One that allows you to draw an arc and specify it's length.

An editable box in the OI pallete that allows you to define it's length after you have drawn it would do.

[Revisions]

What is the best way to handle revisions to drawings?

[Printing rotated text]

Hi Katie

We have tried updating the printer Driver for the Designjet and amazingly it is printing!

If this starts happening again I will e-mail you the file.

Thank you for your response, it is appreciated.

[Printing rotated text]

Katie, I forgot to mention this is an intermittent problem that doesn't occur in all files. The files start out printing rotated text fine only to have this problem occur during the drawing process.

Would you mind if I sent you the file to look at?

It is a Designjet 230.

[Printing rotated text]

Has anyone ever had experience with VW not printing text written at an angle? (except dimensions - angled text does print)Everything else prints fine.

Printing to a HP Designjet from Windows.

using VW Architect Version 9.5.0.

[Dimension changes]

If a dimension value is manually entered (ie "show dimension value" has been un-checked) it would be great to have an option to have VW revert the dimension value back to it's default value if the dimension line is changed. This would reduce the possibility of having incorrect dimension values showing after objects are modified.
