Wow, I didn't know about that function. Thanks Christiaan! The only thing missing is the xline function where a line is infinite.

It would be great if Vectorworks had a guide line (or construction line) tool. Something similar to the guide lines built into the SketchUp tape measure tool. Ideally it would create an xline (like in AutoCAD) that is automatically dashed and by default doesn't show in viewports. Hopefully it would be an infinite length line like in AutoCAD. SketchUp has a nifty feature that deletes all guidelines, so when you are finished constructing your detail you can delete the construction lines. It's surprising that there isn't a tool like this already, it seems like all other drafting software I've used does. In Vectorworks I end up drawing individual lines to construct drawings, then manually deleting them afterward (or forgetting and realizing later when looking through viewports!).

I’m finding by fussing with the door settings and searching forums that the only way to make a corner door, like the image attached, is to convert a door to group and edit, or build one from scratch. Then I need to spend time getting it to show on the door schedule. Or, if I lived in New Zealand, which I don’t, I could get a Windoor license, which I can’t. In the high end residential world these corner doors are common. I would appreciate being able to make them using standard settings.

Does anyone know how to change the scale of a callout that shows in multiple viewports in multiple scales? I created a detail viewport in a design layer. The callout looks great on the 1/4" scale plan, but the scale is way off on a 3/4" enlarged floor plan. Is there a setting that allows you to fine tune callout appearance without affecting it on every sheet? Thanks in advance! Kit
