One other question the map i got is in layers on 6-10 separate DXF's they stack when opened in autocad and xrefed ontop of each other, however when imported into vectorworks they do not stack in the correct position. IE my contours are two lots away from where they are supposed to be and the main street is 500 yards away. is there a way to make vectorworks import a dxf with 0,0 in the dxf set as 0,0 in vectorworks?

I have imported basemap information from a cd given to me by the county. I need to clip this information to fit in the sheet layout i am using but when i use the clip tool it doesnt work. being completely new I may be using the tool wrong. I am not sure. any advice would be appriciated

hello, Our firm does alot of freeform poll design and one of the most useful tools autocad has to allow this is 3 point circles with a tan snap. thus I can draw two circles and connect them with a third by using tan point(in the middle) and tan to the second circle. this creates a smooth outside edge of the pool, how can this be acomplished with vector works OK I figured it out using tangent constraints next issue once I have theoutlin I want to be able to infill it with a color and offset it, baisicaly I need a Poly line out of it so any help here?

katie thanks for the reply, That almost works excet in stead of infilling the kidney shape when I combine the trimed arcs it fills to the interiors of the arcs like it is not recognising it as a solid but as a group of the individual arcs. and it is actualy 4 circles used to creaqte a kidney shape, I can send you what i have so far if you want. also how come I can not trim to the tangent constraints on the circles does VW consider tangent points as not intersecting.

thanks for the replys everyone our switch is still in deabte but ever since 2000 autocad plotting and ps/ms is making ppl here crazy

Our ofice is thinking of switching to VW Landmark 10 from autoCAD/Eaglepoint Landscape design software. However the Interface is very Foriegn and the tutorials on the Demo CD are non existent. Can anyone point us in the direction of some good tutorials, and maybe way in with some pros & cons of the switch?
