Is anyone able to point out the same setting in Vectorworks 2024 Mac? I cant seem to find it.

Anyone got any news on this. Im working Vectorworks 2024 on Mac and I have a large architectural drawing imported into my file with about 80% of the classes and layers turned off. Snapping seems to be picking them all up .

Is there a setting when exporting to dwg/dxf that crops the referenced file to show only that which is shown in the viewport? We only require a small section of the larger drawing when exporting drawings to the 3D software we use. Having the entire drawing means a much larger file and a much slower software. There have been previous threads on this but nothing more recent than 2018.

OH MY GOSH ... thank you so much. you have solved our issue and everyone in my office is VERY VERY thankful! 'Auto Drawing Coordination' ... Thank you!

If I edit the sheet number or sheet name in the Organization box, it doesn't change it on the title block. That's why I'm having this issue; the only way to bath renumber/rename my sheets is to go through each one and open the title block border settings which is a painfully slow process when you have 56 sheets to renumber

Would you be able to give the exact steps to creat what I am after?

Hi @Nikolay Zhelyazkov So I have a file with 11 sheet layers on, all with the same title block. (Vectorworks 2019) Tools - Reports - Create Sheet List. However when i edit this, it only edits the numbers on the sheet list and not on the sheets themshelves.

This is how we did it with VWs 2018. However with the update of 2019, we find that you can change the Number and Name in the organisation window but this won't change it in your title block. Sometimes it works, but rarely!

Yep, this button is ticked and still getting no data in my data sheets

I understand. Thank you anyway for your help.

Thank you Nicholas, Unfortunately, the owners of the small family business I work for do not have a lot of tech understanding and are not that willing to upgrade our computers. I am trying to word our issue is a way that doesn't sound like I'm demanding an entirely new computer suite. We currently have one laptop running Vectorworks on an i3 core. For a mid-level performance, what graphics card would you recommend? Would a laptop have this capability? if so, could you recommend a laptop?

Hi @PVA - Jim I've just looked into the graphics card in our machines; they all have the Intel (R) HD Graphics 650 which supports openGL 4.4. Looking at the minimum spec for Vectorworks 2019, this looks adequate. Am I wrong?

Hi @fabrica Please could you talk us through making a database or worksheet of the title block? If I create a revision history it will happily list the Sheet Number and Sheet Names but when I try and make a report of both of these, no data is shown. Thanks

Hi Jim, Please see the text file attached. Thank you for looking at this for us. DxDiag.txt

We have all upgraded to VW 2019 in our office and are still having the same problem. Cant switch between open documents and end up closing all files and re-opening them.
