Thank you for the reply, Ive just started to look into scripting. I understand worksheets/ functions and have made a number of intelligent worksheets for the company. However i am not sure which scripting language to start with? Any recommendations? Ive tried to look on the forums for the answer yet nothings come up. As for the "User proofing" im starting to understand what you mean. So i wrote a statement to use as a method to work to. Statement as follows; Search selected 'Worksheet' for 'Database headers' Select 'Layer' (Message box shows - drop down box which shows all current layers within Vectorworks document.) Store [Inputted Layer] Search for first 'Database header' criteria If 'Database header' contains 'Layer' Criteria Then, If layer is different to [Inputted layer] replace layer criteria with [Inputted layer] Else, move to next "Database header" Once all "Database headers" have been checked Message box "Worksheet database criteria amended" Click 'OK' to end script I am hoping this is the right simple logic to start with. Thank you again.

Just checking, Is there a script/ marionette anywhere that can set the layer for multiple database headers within one worksheet without having to change it manually. Just to select the worksheet run the script > Pop message shows up, select the layer> click ok > Done ??

Thanks again, to continue from this; We have found that to edit/ update the specification for the furniture symbol. We have to update the record inside the resource browser attached to the symbol. Is it not possible to connect this to a worksheet, fill the fields to update the records for the furniture symbol then reference that to other projects? Otherwise this seems like a tedious task. Lets say down the line furniture manuafacturer changes or the finish has been amended for that particular piece. That would mean we need to go into the resource browser- Right click the symbol- Attach record - edit record - "input changes". Is there perhaps another way to make this seamless and user friendly? So for example to connect to the worksheet, update the spec then it updates the symbols records within the resource browser. Thank you

Thank you for that, That helped allot.

Hello, Currently the company i am working with is looking on improving their drawings and on how they structure their drawings. Right now we have come across the problem that you cannot access record data when it is placed within a symbol of a symbol. So for example a record attached to a furniture symbol within a bedroom symbol. I was wondering if there is anyway around this or if any scripts exist to aid this. if not for someone to possibly point me in the right direction to look. Thank you very much for your time.
