  1. I am loving my Huion GT-220 V2 Pen Display Tablet. The Pen is much better than the touch screen and now at less than 500$ for a 21" display, wow. The closest is the Cintiq at 2K for the basic it's not even a comparison when drafting, touch screen not needed. Combine it with a 3D mouse and wow I might upgrade to the Next Huion up, for the short cut keys.
  2. I have found the answer the problems is in the Update in AVG that automatically quarantined files trying to be written by a program in the desktop or on your computer. I switched from automatic to ask, then set a rule to always allow Vectorworks. Must be an update in my AVG. At first I thought it was the Acrobat start up I put to sleep but I was wrong.
  3. UPDATE. VW tech support finally got it sorted. It turns out if you have AVG and are running tune up, in the Start up area, do NOT put to sleep "Adobe Acrobat DC". If you do it messes with publishing. I would like to take the time to thank Mike for staying with me an having a lot more patience than I do. VW support comes through again!
  4. Just curious, anyone having problems saving and getting a blank page? All of the sudden I publish, it says I published but no file is saved, just wondering if I am the only one. I know it's not the naming structure or file length, I was on with Tech support yesterday and they did a team view session. Started with a blank file and published to the desktop with an untitled document that the support person made and same thing, shows it published but no file in the folder or anywhere in the computer. Can it be just me? M
  5. The Majority of my crashes happen during autosave backing up. I noticed this recently if I make an action as it is saving, poof vectorworks is gone. A;so the keyboard shortcuts are EXTREMELY FUBAR. It's not just me, I use the same key strokes as with 2018, however especially dealing with text it wont' back out and give me control it continues typing my key strokes, or even worse instead of making a dimension I am typing an "n"N in the drawing labels tool or stuck in the tool I am trying to leave. so far 2019 is an efficiency killer for me.
  6. Completely random. It feels to me like the more you use hotkeys, the glitchier it is. The problem is I can't always repeat. IT takes several times hitting escape button and space bar to get the hand tool to come up. Not just that but several tools on just don't respond to the first touch of the keyboard. It's no tht keyboard, works perfectly with ohter programs like Sketch up and Photoshop.
  7. No worries, clarification is always great! Space bar is working, It happens consistently that is for sure under various conditions. I use IM client for Email. Also forgot to attach my reference lst reply
  8. It's all within vectorworks. I use Hot keys all the time to switch between tools. Easiest way is to select a font (like pictured) change the size, then hit the space bar to pan. Instead of changing to the pan tool it, changes the font size instead. The same with justification. you have to hit "esc" "x" then space to pan. When using short cuts for speed it kinda defeats the purpose when you have to remember to hit to more keyboard strokes. I'm also having some issues when I use "4" to make a rectangle then press "shift M" to go to the move tool, I end up creating another rectangle. Although this one isn't consistent, some times it works, others not so much. I am in "designer" workspace.
  9. I just saw there was an update I updated that and I am in the process of resetting the mode bar. Not really interested in the OIP being open. I either have to move to another screen to open it (Slows things down on a pen display) or clutter up my drawing screen. I think I may have found the fix though. I just did as you suggested and after the update to SP1 I am pleased to report IT WORKS!!!!!!! 😄 😄 😄 I'm very happy thank you!!
  10. Ah Mode Bar. To many Acronyms in my life LOL. I want to stretch it and have it stay stretched every time I open it.
  11. Every time I go to move around the plate and use the space bar to bring up the temporary Pan Tool to move around it doesn't always bring the pan tool up. Often doing an action I don't want. One example I alter text either size, or justification etc. I have to hit escape then "x" then space bar to pan around. Every time I hit the space bar it switches things in the dialogue box I was working in. For example instead of going to hand it will change the txt justification, or font size. I hate the wasted movement of hitting two differnt keyboard strokes before having to hit Pan. 1- Does this frustrate anyone else or is it just me? B- Is there any work around?
  12. I was showing how cool it was to import a PDF and strip it down to lines to an ACad user. He then preceded to import same PDF and the layers were all labeled and editable from text to fills. Could be classes in Vectorworks
  13. EVERY time you open a drawing or start the program, it does NOT remeber the size. What a waste of time and an added step. I want my drafting to have fewer steps and be more streamlined.
  14. Below is attached what is happening in still photos. I am always having to publish twice, it won't save the correct name in the proper folder. It did not do this before. If I take the time to rename the folder instead of letting VWorks automatically name it and save it in the proper space I might as well save it twice and not take the time to type out the name. VW used to save it proper name in the proper folder the first time, otherwise what is the point of publishing. I shouldn't have to name a new folder each revision or each time I save it. That is why I save with unique names and set up each sheet with a unique name and number. It's all about NOT adding steps and having the program work as it should. IT was working before, is this a bug with the latest update??
  15. I turned document coordination on. Like I said it didn't fix the problem. For some reason your .avi file isn't working can you save as a .mov? How do I make yhis video? The issue is illustrated above in the screen shots.
  16. Nope no affect on the problem, still have to publish twice, only now I am getting annoying "Viewport name is already being used" error.
  17. OK I will try that, because I use A and B and my drawigns are sometimes coordinated with hand drafting I manually put in the sheet numbers and using that used to give me frustrations with the drawing label toolautomatically numbering using a differnt system I use and the carpenters are used to. Thanks for the feed back I will report back how it works out.
  18. Does this happen to anyone else? I change the name in an existing file to publish (ie change the date on the saved file to stay organized) When I go to publish, it publishes under the old name. I publish a second time (changing nothing) and the name is correct, without changing anything in the settings, yes I save as overwriting the original. It's all wasting time that the publishing option was meant to save. This is not a file naming length issue. I am saving it on my desktop and well under the 260 characters. It's a real pain because the extra step takes time, I have to be careful I don't overwrite the old file and save it in another folder (taking time). Then I have to go back and delete the file that is updated but named wrong. This started happening 2 updates ago. Below are the steps numbered 1 to 6.
  19. Quick work around. Copy text into word add bullet points, copy and paste back into VW text box. Still be easier to do in VW directly, at least this way you don't have to memorize the keyboard strokes to get the bullet point.
  20. Well I found the answer. The problem is the number and name length of sub folders in Drop Box. It was making the save as name length over windows limit of 260 Characters (No I didn't set up the file structure). One work around would be the turn the name length off in Reg Edit. However that might cause bugs./ I am just going to publish to my desktop then copy and paste to the archive folder. Thanks to Dylan and VW for helping me out and not giving up. Always a big fan of VW tech support
  21. The above does not fix the problem, in fact it exasperates the issues. It goes through the publishing steps but then nothing publishes. Back two steps so I am turning coordination off.
