I am using Landmark 10.5. I want to create custom graphics for the drip emitter tool, with a different graphic for each, which can be saved as a symbol/plug-in. I have tried customizing the plug-in objects, and have tried customizing plugin objects found in 02-SITEWK_DRIPEMITTER-mcd to no avail. Is there some way of doing this.
My second question concerns symbols and records. If I attach a record format to a symbol, I have to enter specific details each time I place the symbol. How can I get the symbol itself to carry this specific data whenever it is placed, and not just default values. Each symbol should be able to carry specific info should it not?

I am trying to set up a 'general notes' database which I can use variations of from project to project. I have followed the manual, and have various 'sections' each containing a number of notes - however if I try to enter text over about 260 charactors long it gets truncated - am I doing something wrong?

Is it possible to add new classes / layers to vectorworks standards so they can accessed from within Task Manager or classnamestds / layernamestds worksheets? Can classes be added after file has been created?
If I add a new class from within the classes dialogue can I use Setup to update the worksheet? When I make changes using 'edit sheet' these changes do not show up within Task Manager etc. I get a message "clasnamestds worksheet contains more classes than the layermap.G worksheet......cannot be used until added to layermap.G" - how do I update layermap.G?

when I join two different wall types as set up in current wall types of VWA I experience poor joining of the various components. Both walls have the same number and thickness of components, except for one middle conponent which makes one wall a total of 4 1/2 inches and the other a total of 18 inches. should they be joining correctly, or do their differing thicknesses prohibit this? I am running VWA on a G4 with 8.6. I am quite new to VW, so I dont know if this is an issue outside of ARCHITECT.

I recently upgraded to ARCHITECT. A file originaly created in VW 8.5.1 became corrupted. Something in the file is hogging memory and it crashes if a Quickdraw rendering is attempted, all pitched roofs appear as flat etc. I have a G4 400/256M, running OS8.6. How can I avoid this happening? should I stop using ARCHITECT?

I am currently printing from an epson 1290, using a G5 with osx 10.2.8. Can I get print quality improvements if I install a third party postscript rip such as iproof power ripX? Gimp print is another cheaper route, would this give me postscript quality prints?
