The Hamma

They added this option in Vectorworks 2025!

They added this function to Vectorworks 2026 🎉

For now I created a symbolic link from the Workgroup directory to my User directory. mklink /J "<Path to your User folder>\2025\Libraries\Defaults\Marionette" "<Path to your workgroup folder>\2025\Libraries\Defaults\Marionette" Only issue is that the Workgroup folder must be a synced folder rather than a network drive folder.

What is the prefix for the workgroup library rather than the user library [UsrLib]?

Here is a link to the result:

I have just created this script to create an overhead coiling door plugin style and symbol to override the geometry. You have to add the two files attached to your favorites. Once they are there you right click the "OHCD Generator" file to open. After you open the file double click the script named "Overhead Coiling Door Generator" Input the dimensions required. (Note you need to know what the thickness of the wall you will be inserting the door into is before you start). The new style will be inserted into the drawing for you to copy to your new drawing. If you save the "OHCD Generator" file the new styles will be kept in this file for future use. OHCD Generator.mp4 If you want to change the default settings in the style you can edit the source plugin named "OHCD STYLE TEMPLATE" in "OHCD Support File.vwx". You can also edit the class names in each file but you will also need to change the class settings inside the script. Find this section in the script to edit. { Define Class Names as Constants } kClassNone = 'A-DOOR'; kClassFlorOvhd = 'A-FLOR-OVHD'; kClassDoorLeaf = 'A-DOOR-OHCD-LEAF'; kClassDoorCan = 'A-DOOR-OHCD-FRAME'; kClassDoorTrim = 'A-FNSH-TRIM'; OHCD Support File.vwx OHCD Generator.vwx

Oh! Now I get it and it did work!

See attached. If I try to set the field of the resource it doesn't work. If I try to set the field once placed in the drawing it does work but only if the field is not by style. I am trying to do option 1. Style Field Set Test.vwx

If I insert a plugin object in a drawing and the fields are not controlled by the style I can edit the instance of the plugin in the drawings fields. What I would like to be able to do is: Edit the fields of a plugin that are by style with a vectorscript so every instance is edited. If I cannot do that then I would like to be able to insert the styled plugin in the drawing and then convert it to an unstyled plugin using a vectorscript before editing the fields. Anyone know how to do either of these.

Been there, done that. 😉 See this: Also if you want the easy way out. https://www.sideshowfx.net/products-vectorworks

I do know there are vectorscript commands for these but does anyone know what the Object Visibility Commands DoMenuTextByName chunk name is.
