  1. So since this has been moved into ConnectCad Settings and no longer need to restart to take effect, I have found the whole process intuitive and not frustrating anymore.  Thanks for the change on that one.  I think it was both needed and extremely easy.

  2. @unearthed I pivoted to every 50 actions with mine and it has worked pretty well.  I totally hear you though, Around the 2015 version I feel like I started to run into issues with crashing all the time and that has not improved over the past 6 years.  But it is probably the function I would like the most is that the program could do all of the things it says it should do well.

  3. Are there any video tutorials for using connect cad?  I've not found anything longer than like a minute so far.  Looking to improve my workflow but not sure how to even start.  

     

    Any help appreciated.

  4. In VWX 2021 and I've been using it about a month now, I keep seeing a phantom light appear the first time I insert a light into a document.  it is greyed out and cannot be selected but always appears.  If I save, exit and reenter it goes away but if I insert a new light a phantom version of that light appears. It only happens to the first light inserted into a document. On a macbook pro and current on all service packs.  Anyone know what could be causing this glitch?  I did not have this issue with previous versions.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Image has real light selected and phantom light is perpendicular to it and floating.

  5. Hey Guys,

     

    Thanks for all the help so far.  I have a question related to inputs in the oip.  I am building a network rack in marionette and want to be able to place symbols into the rack for the different kinds of devices that will be installed on mobile racks.  These are custom built so vary in size.  Now I can build a couple of standard ones, in face I have already but am wondering if I can change the number of possible inputs in the object info palette by adjusting the rack height.  

     

    I've shown an example where I have manually placed them within the object but want to figure out if I can automate it so I don't have a bunch of unused boxes in my OIP.

  6. Is there a simple way of creating an autonumbering system in marionette?  Background I'm building a marionette network that will build network racks for me and I want to number each RU level.  

  7. This is exactly what I was missing!  Thank you so much.  I did not realize there was a specific node that did that but rather a general node you would input the test into.  Still wrapping my head around the logic on a lot of things but this helps so much.  Thank you @sbarrett

  8. I've been looking for a bit but haven't found any current threads about this so if it exists please route me.  I'm trying to create an if node with a test.  I can't figure out how to input my test.  currently it is just a simple "if x>=Y then Z+1, Z". if that makes sense.  I am looking for just a nudge in the right direction as I can't figure out the correct way to approach this.  

     

    Thanks in advance for your time!

  9. @m.grafHey, totally I was just trying to show the exact challenge by zooming in and showing the 3 had the exact same real number input for the x position while having different y positions.  The larger script I think was just going to confuse what I was trying to do.  It unfortunately turned out to be an in session bug.  When I closed vectorworks and restarted it, it worked correctly.  

  10. Hello,

     

    I'm building a repeating set of circles on a Y axis but my circles are appearing in different X axises even though they have the same x point going into them any ideas what I might be doing wrong?  picture to explain. all circles should appear on same x position but different Y positions however that is not what is happening.

    Been having an issue with data tags shrinking super small when printed unless the "reset all plug-in objects" on the print screen is unchecked.  Do you know what would trigger that?  Is there a way to stop them from shrinking?  

     

    Info the tags are incorporated into a symbol.  That was the only element that I thought could be triggering them but otherwise no idea.
