    30 seconds printing delay

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Found out what went wrong.

    Appearantly the system needs to make a list of all attached printers before opening the printing dialogbox. One of these printers was physically removed and nevertheless xp tried to open it. This caused the delay.... that simple!

    I just wonder why this problem only occured after last weeks SP2 update. For the printer whas removed over a month ago.

    render polygons not shaded

    in Rendering

    Posted

    Hello, I have tried to explain my problem before, but still have no solution for this: I am drawing a cove construction with curved surface, when I choose for render polygon, a number of renderlines appear. And that is not what I want. I just want to see the outside lines and fill color. I have put the 3D conversion already to 'low' but still about 20 lines appear on this curved surface. Anyone an idea?

    Hello, I am working on a 3D model and have the following question: I have the section of this model but the starting and ending angle of it is not the same. How can I create a model that is extruded and twisted around a centre line?

    export eps format

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, I am using Vectorworks Pro 9.5.1 on PC and I have a question about exporting rendered perspective views to eps format. When I do so the files become huge! (20 - 25 Mb each!)Is there something I can do about it? I need this eps format, because it's the only way to be compatible with our press-office. Or should I use another format?

    pdf file fails to show GL rendering

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Hello,

    I am working with VW 9.5.1 on WIN95 and I have just tried to make a PDF file from my drawing.

    Therefore I print the file to a Adobe 4.0 PDF-writer. The drawing consists some different layers, including a 3D view in Open GL. And that is the problem: The Open GL rendering shows completely BLACK on the PDF file. (Printing the same file on a HP4500PS printer was perfect)What can I do to make a proper PDF?

    Isolines in rendered views

    in Rendering

    Posted

    Hi, I am doing some simple renderings in VW 9.5.1 on curved surfaces. And I can't get rid of these nasty isolines wich dominate the view. Does anyone know how to reduce the number of lines or better, how to remove them?

    File preview

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted

    Some weeks ago I proposed to include a file preview in Vectorworks. I think it would make searching files much more easier. Obviously there are not many users dealing with this problem, for I didn't get any reply. I really think this would improve working with Vectorworks. Is it, for example, possible to make a small bitmap with the current screenshot each time a file is saved? (and of course overwrite when the file is saved again) At this moment I have to do this manually and I search my files with a picture viewer. I am running VW 9 on PC.

    files search path

    How come that if I open drawings from a certain directory, after a while the path to search those files will be changed? These days I am opening, changing and saving a large number of files. And it is rather awkward to put in the path again and again.... Is there a way to set a default searchpath? How is this organised in VW9 for PC?

    exporting bitmaps

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, I am making some drawings for technical specifications that will be printed by others. Therefore I export my VW9 files as bitmapfiles.

    I have noticed some troubles while exporting bitmapfiles. On my drawings I use both 2D and 3D images. When I go to export/image there is obviously no way to get ONE high quality bitmap from this drawing. When I activate the 2D layer, the bitmap will turn very large, with small image in the corner. When I export through the 3D layer, only the 3D drawing will be exported.

    By the way, exporting wmf doesn't work at all!

    What can I do? Or what did I do wrong?
