@C. Andrew Dunning Some of these issues have been solved in Vectorworks update 3

new truss doesn't show up in worksheet
Peter Telleman replied to Peter Telleman's topic in Entertainment
@markdd That helped indeed, thanks a million! -
@jcogdell @Scott C. Parker Hi all, I made a truss part, and I think it worked. But it doesn't show up with its name and colour in my worksheet, and I don't see why. The only difference I see with another truss is in the assigned sources. If that's the issue, can someone explain how that works to me? thanks a lot, Peter FD33-029.vwx

@Tom W. I have not, but will now. Thanks for sending this, it looks promising.

Thanks virtualenvirons, I think you used text along path, where the letters become outlined. I know that works, but I want it to go with all the other text boxes in the template I'm making, si I'm looking for a way to have "normal" text bend along a curve.

Hi All, I'm struggling with something that is very likely super easy. I have a curved shape, and I want to have a bit of text in it, but I can't seem to do it. Text along path just wants to give me 3D shaped weird letters, and all I want is just to bend the text I have a bit to fit the shape. Anyone? text along path question.vwx

Attaching swivel clamps to lighting pipes
Peter Telleman replied to Sam Thomas's topic in Entertainment
@TomWhiteLight Hi Tom, Late to this post, but I'm with this same issue now. I have drawn Doughty clamps to use, and have set offset to the distance between the clamps. When I use the connection tool, the pipe does what it is suppose to do, but the symbol containing the two clamps doesn't show up (except in the resource manager). I'm probably doing something silly wrong? Peter doughty as connection test.vwx -
@markdd That was what I was trying, but I couldn't get to edit options. Anyway, I went to your showvector explanation, and that was super clear! So thanks a million, just tried making it using the explanation on your site, and that worked brilliantly! thanks a million, Peter

@markdd Hi Mark, You are apparently my problem solver for the day, thanks a lot. The file you've made is indeed exactly what I wanted. What you're saying is, despite of what form you pick for the truss, objects will snap to the chords? Trying to reverse engineer proves difficult, because when opening you're file, VW tells me the truss symbol has no edit behaviour. thanks a lot, Peter

@JustinVanHassel @jcogdell Hi everyone, I have problems making a truss. We have a circle tube with a cross in the middle. I want to make this symbol into a truss, which in itself works, but then I run into issues. If I make the truss a circular truss, things snap to the circle part of the object, but not to the cross, and if I make it a straight or a corner, I run into the same problems, just with different outcomes. I'd like things to snap to both the circle as well as the truss. Is what I'm trying not possible? If it is, can someone explain to me how to do this? My second question concerns the new chord snapping. To me it looks like there's just lines in the center of the tube, which are in chord snapping class. But if I try to make that, things don't neatly snap to it, so there's probably more to it. Can someone explain to me how this works? thanks a lot, Peter Truss Tower Ring Ø1mtr 30V.vwx

@markdd Wonderful, thank you very much. It was bound to be something simple. But since that was something I've never touched (with me it was standard on the second mode), I had no idea where to look.

@Pat Stanford @Scott C. Parker @jcogdell Hi everyone, I'm trying to help a colleague who can't move the text fields belonging to a videoscreen (screen and lens info etc). When I have text with my video screen, I get a blue square in my text fields, which allows me to move those fields (see attachment). He does not have these blue squares, and therefore no way to move these text fields without moving the whole screen/projector. This sounds like a setting issue, but we have no idea where this could be. Any thoughts?

Are you using the Vectorworks library? Because when you use the array tool in Vectorworks you can choose whether to use 1, 2, or multiple hoists on your array/bumper.

From my understanding if the height exceeds the maximum chain length of the hoist symbol, it adds a straight bridle to get to the desired height. If it's not that I would not have a clue, but that is the reason it happened to me earlier.

@Michael Schroeder Thanks a million! that works awesome!
