@R Buckingham Just downloaded these 2 files and they open in VW 2020 fine. Both have symbols in them. What are you looking for exactly?

@Andy Broomell Having the same results as you Andy. Have a pretty good feeling that it will be fixed in the next Service Pack. 😉 #JusSayin

@timtimtimtim Have you tried simply adding the Zero in front of the first digit in the sequence? If you add 2 zeros, it will pad out up to 100.

That's odd behavior. Not seeing that on this end. Cut Plan above still shows them filled.

@TomWhiteLight 58 is surprising? Damn... As Architects doing tenant interiors and base buildings, we have a tenant standard template start point with 50 Design Layers and 235 Classes. Many files get upward of 100 layers. Classes do not increase significantly over the life of a file.

@Andy Broomell If you change from a Hatch to a solid color is it showing properly? Is your hatch small enough to be seen on a 2" x 6" rectangle?

Not if you have all the objects selected first. I've become a big fan of the right click on a class in the Navigation Palette and "Assign to Selection". No picking up attributes required. #JusSayin #TooManyOptions?

Even if you say NO to the dialog... THAT has got to be a Bug, right?

@halfcouple Not seeing this in VW 2020. If I change the sort, it remembers it thru the session. After a quit of the application, it reverts to sorting by the stacking order. Mac running OS 10.15.3

@Diamond Undo's can be a memory hog. Had a user complaining that they had constant beachballs. Come to find out they had set the Undo to the maximum of 100. Changed that to 25 and "changed" their workflow to not need that many undo operations and bye bye beachballs. #Technology

...Or what about placing a Data Tag on the title block that returns the Time Stamp Long?

@Peter Neufeld When in need of date and time info on the "non-print" side of a sheet, we have used the stand alone Data Stamp tool. Drop it on the bottom left corner of a sheet layer and it prints in the border to let you know what drawing was used to create the file and what time it was created. Not a Title Block but perhaps an enhancement request can get it incorporated.

@MultipleWays Another work around in a single cell... Add a Leader or Trailer in the Cell Formatting?

@Hamo Glad its back. hope it stays. Technology is weird sometimes.

@Pat Stanford Thanks for the simple script and work around. Document Preferences is set to Adjust Flipped Text, that it "fixes" all flipped text boxes. With the Document Preference ON to adjust, all text boxes flipped, mirrored, or rotated gets fixed to the correct view orientation. Permanently. Turning OFF the Document Preference AFTER making flipped text does not change or adjust the existing text. It only impacts future text adjustments. VP Advanced Settings only adjust text boxes that is made while the Document Preference is OFF. Text Inside a Symbol DOES NOT get "Fixed" while Document Preference is ON. The text in the symbol appears correct while the Document Preference is ON. Turning the Document Preference OFF after flipping symbols that contain text will revert the orientation of the text. (Not the same behavior as text boxes) Mention this since I was attempting to get text to read upside down in a VP on a drawing. (Plan in the middle and elevations drawn on all 4 sides aligned with the plan) Turned OFF the VP Advanced Setting for Flipped Text and then had to tweak/rotate/mirror a few notes symbols to get them to display correctly.

If my brain is working properly... FILE A has Design Layer Viewports that are made up of layers in FILE A. You want FILE B to reference FILE A and show the Layer with the Design Layer Viewports. If you set the Referencing Method in the Organization Window to Use Design Layer Viewports and then follow the instructions for Referencing Layer Geometry it should work. That is, IF my brain is working properly. More questions? Not working? Pose a new question?

You must change the Document Preference BEFORE creating the Flipped Text. If you have the Document Preference Set to Adjust Flipped Text, the text it creates is "fixed" for the life of the text. Once you turn the preference OFF, new text will respect the flipped orientation, left, right, backward, upside down and backward... If you then VP the flipped around text, and set the Advanced properties to Adjust Flipped Text, you will see the change.

@Hamo Did your Workspace Change for some reason?

@Nikolay Zhelyazkov The trace bitmap is perhaps helpful for logos or non technical drawings. For linework on a plan, elevation or detail, something like Scan2CAD capabilities would be amazing. Not tracing the outside of the lines but creating the lines themselves. https://www.scan2cad.com/ While nowhere near perfect, this software has the ability to "convert" a line instead of "tracing" both sides. #JusSayin Untitled.dwg

@Nikolay Zhelyazkov Upon further review... While the conversion is better with fewer anomalies, for the most part, this type of conversion for raster PDF files is not much use. None of the lines are really usable. Perhaps there is another solution in the works in lieu of the enhanced Trace Bitmap?

Will this new tool be Available in VW 2021?

Night Owl. https://nightowl.kramser.xyz/ Free. Comes with a Menu Bar Icon. Lets you set any app to run opposite of your main settings. There are other apps. Stopped trying them when this one worked

Done to accommodate the Dark Mode on the Mac platform. #SoI'veBeenTold

@Harald Yes...but... VW allows the install on 2 machines. Their activation process remembers your machine log in for 90 days (so I have been told) When a user has a laptop at home and an iMac in the office with their licence number installed and we purchase a new iMac (or laptop) we have had to call VW and "ask for forgiveness" to allow us to install a licence on the new machine. (a third machine for the next 90 days) We only are using the installed software on 2 machines but VW temporarily sees 3 logged machines for about 90 days. #YourMileageMayVary
