  1. Workgroup Referencing is for several people to work together over a network.

    Basic default is one user per a file in VW. But you can bring other files into yours while those files are open by others through WGR and update them as you need.

    This assumes that you have to break files for a project if many are expected to work together.

    Your error message 'this file is currently in use ' might be the case when someone has the file open over the network or someone has the file under their resource broswer.

  2. I was wondering if this is a known bug and there is a way around it. I have a parking space PIO inside of a symbol in a particular class and a particular layer. When I tried to count this parking space PIO by setting the criteria in worksheet, it doesn't count.

    I set the criteria to look for these particular class and layer, record of parking spaces and toggled to look for inside of symbols. It kept reporting '0'. And then when I removed all other criteria except ' parking space record is present' with the toggle to look inside of a symbol, it works. Has anybody experienced the same?

  3. I made a linear object and had to read default linelength data to worksheet. On my object pane, I see linelength following unit setup per file which is ft-in. But in worksheet it all comes in as inches. Is this the way it is? If so, is there a way to convert to ft-in again in worksheet?

  4. I was using a custom made PIO on my drawing and got a error message in certain drawings. It goes

    'An attempt define a Plug-In object named 'xx' failed because format with that name already exists in the current document. The entire operation is canceled.'

    When I use the same PIO in a new drawing and copy and paste, it works. I was wondering why this message?

  5. OK. I lost all the save views in my file except current one. I see previous ones under script/saved sheets palette at my resource browser but it doesn't work by double clicking. Save view menu at the bottom of screen only shows the current one. I had this problem before and do not know how to cure or how to prevent.

    Icon should be 32 x 32 pixel in order to be pasted in a script property dialog box. The way I usually do is first to make an icon that I like on VW and export it to image (bmp file) by drawing a marquee around it. You have to assign your image size by 32x32 pixel when you export. Then you open this in 'Preview', and copy. Open your script editor and select the tool, select property, click on the icon box, and paste.

    I never had any problem of this procedure.
