  1. This is the best spot at the moment: http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=12&page=1 I keep an eye on this and forum members hash out whether the items are already there and just not obvious, if its a feature that should be added and how it should be implemented. (I think only employees, distributors and beta testers can submit them directly via our internal tracking software, but I am not positive. I'll find out because I really should know that...)
  2. Being able to use Clip Cube in the different rendering modes is on the wishlist, many have asked for it. Including myself.
  3. Truss objects specifically have an attribute in the Object Info palette named "Hanging Angle" that you should be able to use for this. Curved truss should be rotate-able if you check the box for "Draw 3D only" in the OIP.
  4. No problem, I forget little settings like that all the time. (Our brains can only hold so much and most of mine is filled with Star Trek trivia...)
  5. In the viewport's object info palette, under Advanced Viewport Settings, does it behave as expected if you change the setting for Adjust Flipped Text? (Make sure to check other text in the viewport and make sure it is still correct as well after changing the setting.)
  6. Submitting as a wish now, along with the ability to import textures/materials without having to go the long way around manually.
  7. On the top right of the drawing area, you should see a gear icon called "Data bar and edit group options" If you click that, at the bottom is the setting where you can enable or disable that, it may have been turned off.
  8. So you wouldnt want to click on it, it would just be a visual indicator and the regular hotkeys for changing modes would be what you used to interact with it? It would serve to reduce hunting down where the mode bar was across the screen for visual feedback of what mode was currently active?
  9. There were Custom Line Types added in 2013: -that you could use via class overrides in viewports to control the appearance of lines for printing, unless I am misunderstanding what you are looking for.
  10. Thank you! I'm pretty confident (after a bunch of troubleshooting here today) that there are a number of different issues on different OSes causing similar symptoms, especially after reading the posts here of how long its been going on.
  11. To clarify, would the idea be to have a hotkey that would invoke this HUD, which would then remain stationary and clickable until the hotkey was pressed again or the active tool was changed? or would it ideally vanish as soon as a new mode was selected?
  12. I had not been able to replicate this until I started working with a new Windows 8.1 machine, where Vectorworks does not close naturally. However on other 8.1 machines here it closes without issue. Before that in Vectorworks 12.5.3 through Vectorworks 2014 SP2 I did not see the problem on Windows XP, windows 7, or OS X 10.6 - 10.9. We are still trying to figure out where the problem might be, since it doesn't seem to be OS or hardware dependent. If anyone encounters this problem, please send tech@vectorworks.net one of these from the affected machine along with a description of what version of Vectorworks you are using and how frequently it is happening: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/627/DirectX+Diagnostics+and+System+Profiler
  13. I am still not able to use connect/combine to connect objects outside of a group to objects within a group as of 2014 SP2. I personally think some other method of keeping objects together, without going as far as creating a container item such as a group or symbol would solve a LOT of user interface weirdness and complexity. A Spatial Group or Smart Group sort of concept may be a good idea, somewhere between what Groups and Constraints do, without the limitations of either. Submitting a relatively general wishlist item for now, but more talk of what would be useful and what is currently detrimental with the current system within this thread would be helpful if anyone has any other ideas for (or frustrations with) Groups.
  14. Send in a 2014 file where that is happening, along with the following: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/627/DirectX+Diagnostics+and+System+Profiler to tech@vectorworks.net and an explanation of the issue and we can have a look.
  15. Regular top/plan or wireframe viewports are doing this? Or you see the slowdown in a particular rendering mode?
  16. The basics of it are mentioned in this video, at around 19 seconds in:
  17. For anyone interested in doing so: http://www.vectorworks.net/community/mailinglists.php
  18. Agreed. I haven't yet delved into Vectorscript personally and these issues were a major reason why. However, while this is something we need, it doesn't fit into the normal wishlist submission system due to its complexity. I'll contact a few people and see how to go about this.
  19. I have submitted this as a request recently, I'll confirm that it is still an open request and if not, submit it again. Currently it seems that it either doesn't work at all, or doesn't work all the time.
  20. Do you see the same slowness in a new file with just a few test objects, or does it just appear in complex files? If you can, send a VWX file where its happening in along with the following: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/627/DirectX+Diagnostics+and+System+Profiler - to tech@vectorworks.net explaining the slowness you are encountering and we can have a look.
  21. For anyone else who may come across this problem or something similar: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/1086/Working+with+Screen+and+Layer+Planes
  22. The Service Select Portal is SUPPOSED to always list the most up to date version. If you ever happen to see that it isn't please let me know. (As we streamline the process of getting new updates/content into the VSS this problem should go away.) However, in tech support we also have the most up to date download links available, if you call or email us or message me here we can get you the correct version directly.
  23. Do you have a training topic wish? Perhaps you want to learn how to do something specific with Vectorworks? Maybe you want to learn how to use a particular command or tool? Or perhaps you would like to learn about a specific workflow? Well let us know what items would be most useful to you that you don?t already see available for Vectorworks? If you have an item you?d like us to consider making, please reply to this topic , including as many details as you can. We?ll be constantly monitoring this and merging it with our list. Thank you for your feedback.
