That's what we are doing and so far, no issues. Apparently a line does not have a perimeter. 😉

@Pat Stanford Thanks for the reply. Surprisingly, with the # at the end or removed the text (OCC) still appears. Perhaps due to the space added in front of the text? Either with or without, the PERIM function appears to not provide results for lines. The formula is working on polylines and rectangles. Just not for lines. Example File with test DataTag for reference. This one was created for bench seating at 18" DataTag PERIM Line 2024-08-15.vwx

@AndrewBeres Came here looking for this exact issue. Have been trying to get the #WS_ROUNDDOWN to work Since the length of a booth at 49" will not fit 3 humans, we always round down. This DT Formula works using the length of the line. #WS_ROUNDDOWN((LENGTH/2), 0)# OCC# Divide by 2 feet (24") because I'm not sure how to extract "LENGTH" as inches If you disagree with the ROUNDDOWN, you can always set it up to ROUNDUP When using the exact same formula using PERIM, it fails on lines but works on polylines (rectangles too) for some reason. #WS_ROUNDDOWN((PERIM/2), 0)# OCC# Not sure why adding the ROUNDDOWN for PERIM fails on lines. Because you can use PERIM on a line to extract the length. It's only the addition of the #WS_ that causes the issue. More than likely it's operator error.

@Jeff Prince is totally correct here. Classes are your friend and huge time saver.

Deselect everything. Change the Attributes Palette to have the settings you want. Everything new will use those settings

Late to the party... Bumping this. This should be the way Text Styles Works now in 2024.

Drop a locus at the corner. move it X=12, y=6 Then use the locus to rotate. #NoMathRequired

With 35 people all making their own UserDictionary.txt files, transferring from user to user is not simple. The hope is to allow for a single company wide dictionary be added to the Workgroup referenced Folder Spelling Check is very primitive in VW. There is no Ignore all upper case words, or number and letter combinations. With notes that are M2 and F3 or PT7, the spell check is long and laborious. With lots of UNO and U.N.O showing up in the drawings, the dictionary file gets cumbersome. And clicking "Learn" over and over the first time is painful

@unearthed Not having the issue on the Mac for VW 2022, 2023, or 2024. Don't have 2018 anymore to test on Mac.

It would also be ideal if VW recognized a UserDictionary.txt file that resides in a User Workgroup Referenced Folder. Sure would make distribution to the entire office way simpler and easy. The first time you run a spell check it can take 30 minutes to "Learn" all the lingo, abbreviations and company names.

You can't do this and expect it to remain. New data needs to be placed on a different layer. When the file updates from the source file, any changes or adjustments make get removed. regardless if you copy the info or draw new. You get a warning when shifting to a Referenced layer waring of this behavoir. If you don't see the warning, you may want to reset the warnings in VW Preferences.

@MartinBlomberg Glad there was a solution. Have had this issue in the past where one corner is actually made up of 2 points so close together that it appears as a single handle. Have had to clip the poly into pieces to troubleshoot the offending side. Keep clipping to smaller and smaller pieces until the culprit is found.

When double clicking on the shape with the fillet tool, the radius can't be larger than half the distance of the smallest side. And for some reason, this shape shows in OIP as closed, but there is still one side that appears to not be closed. HTH

Here to save you the extra step. Select the files in Finder. Right click and select Quick Actions... Then Create PDF. You can select Images & PDF's to make a single PDF file. If you don't have this option, it can be found in System Preferences/Privacy & Security/Extensions/Finder... The real ProTip is that the in the resulting file, the pages are arranged in the order that you select them in Finder. Or the order of the current sort, if you are selecting an entire folder full of stuff. The Files do not even need to be in the same folder, as long as you can see (and click on them) in a single Finder window. Think List View with several folders "kicked open" to see contents. This has saved me lots of time monkeying around with Acrobat, Preview, PDF Expert, etc.

Be sure your libraries are up to date. Right click on the Premium Libraries and "Refresh" Do the same for the Vectorworks Libraries Make sure that your search is for everything, everywhere. I'm seeing several results for "piano" Note the little cloud and arrow in the bottom left corner of each symbol. This means that it's currently in the cloud and will need to download to use. HTH
