Yes, frustrating.

Is there any way to import Inventor files into VW?
-
Doesn't work for me either. Any solutions yet?
-
It seems to randomly break the symbols down completely. I am working with a complex 3d file and this is killing me!
-
I have been using VW for 20 years (going back to MiniCAD) on a mac.
With VW2017 designer, when I "convert copy to lines" on a group, it ungroups the original 3d objects. It converts all the symbols within the group and ungroups them also so that whatever I started with becomes a total mess.
Help

Is there any way to open a MiniCad 5 file (from 1995!) on a mac running VectorWorks 2008?
-
AWESOME!
-
Thanks...I will keep that in mind for the future.
-
I am on a mac. Well, since I came in today (a day after the crashing) and have restarted my computer, it seems to be working now. Strange behavior!
-
Well, I just upgraded to 12.5.1 and now I cannot do a 'convert to hidden lines' without crashing (the file worked fine before the upgrade)...bummer.
I am now going to downgrade back to 12.5.

Copying RenderWorks cameras is definitely the way to go. Thank you both for your AWESOME advice --- very helpful.
-
I will look into it...
Thanks!

Although I own RenderWorks, I have not actually used it in years....tried it when it first came out. Never really used though.

When I say 'copying views', I am specifically talking about 3d views.
-
I am laying out a trade show booth. My client manufactures helicopters. I have five different ones in this floor plan - they were originally 3ds models. In addition to the models and my structure, there is also electrical information, spatial dimensioning and a saved hidden line perspective view. This stuff all adds up.
I am working on another job where I received IGES files from my client. The file for this job is around 130mb and totally unmanageable. I am in the process of re-drawing items and deleting as much as possible. I have it down to 80mb so far.
I have been using VectorWorks for 10 years now and have often wondered about copying views from one document to another...thanks for your help anyway.
-
Unfortunately, my client makes tons of revisions and the file size is already around 80mb. Combining plans would make the file unmanageable. Usually, I start out by saving all the views I like in the document and then re-save different versions. Unfortunately, if I decide that I want a different view, I can't transfer that new view to the other revisions.
-
Can a saved view be copied from one document to another? How can it be done?
I am working on several different floor plans for a client and would like to show the same views for each plan.
-
I usually download DXF from 3dWorld Club, but 3ds works too.
-
Is there one particular model of helicopter that you are looking for? One of my clients manufactures helicopters.
This site has a few:

Can a 'STEP' file (.stp) be imported into VW12?
-
Too complicated!
-
The only way to modify these extrusions it to double click them (edit group) and edit the 2d shape that created the extrusion. This is a complete inconvenience. I am hoping that the good things in 11.5 will outway this very bad thing. Should be fixed by next update?

This topic has been covered recently in this forum. I am having the same exact problem and it is a big pain.
