    I use the 2 side buttons for layer-up and layer-down

    The wheel button as command-O to bring up the layer/class/etc.. properites window

    the Top button I have set to various Layer / Class views (Active Only, Gray Others, etc ..)

     

    my middle mouse is still set to pan -- think I'll change to something else :)

    Truthfully "workshets" are such a great concept .. but the usability is so piss poor that - IMO - you really have to invest a lot of time to get them right.

     

    To this day, there is not an easy way to know what parameters are called. 

    Calling parameters inside the sheet is a hit or miss whack-a-mole

     

    I usually have to create a report with ALL parameters and then sift through to find the ones I need.

    Then I have to create a new report (or delete a lot of columns) to get the report correct.

     

    Also - if you rename - i think it was layer names? - you have to go back into the report and re-call them?

     

    This entire system - like much else - needs a re-write.

     

    I'll say it again ... NO NEW FEATURES --- FIX THE ONES WE HAVE !!!

    Hidden Line Rendering with Objects have no Fill when Stacking Viewports

    I might have a potential solution for this. Select all of the stacked viewports with the OpenGL background and click on the Lighting Options button in the OIP. Under ambient info turn up the brightness to 100%. In my test file it washes out all of the shadows. You wouldn't normally want this but because you're only using the OpenGL portion as fill it doesn't really matter.

    This is the technique we use to get hidden line as well !
     

    Kevin beat me to it :)

    Vectorworks libraries

    in General Discussion

    Thanks Rob - Found them!

    Its  bit odd as some are in the Service Select folders and others in the libraries folders.

     

    Question - once downloaded  - is there a way to integrate them into the OIP Pallets?

    ie. if I download the new Espon Projectors or Meyer Speakers - can I use the Spotlight tools to insert them into my drawings?

     

    Thank you

    Hi Jim,

     

    That is what I thought - but some of the libraries (like the ETC Power Library or SquareLED) were not there - I had to go to the Service Select Portal and download them.

    Is this correct - or is something not connecting on my side?

     

    Thanks

    Wish List 2019? Live Section cut viewports functionality/display

    -- Update --

    I realize that as I continue to work on my file and navigate around- the view-port is obviously knocked out of the correct rotation.

    So I have to go back to a "Saved View" Prior to exporting each time?

    Is that the workaround? To confirm that I'm always in the correct orientation for my design layer / sheet layer viewports to pick up the correct view?

    nVidia Graphics Card Settings (PC) ???

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello all

     

    Is there a 'definitive' recommended settings for nVidia GeForce Graphics Cards?

     

    I'm back to the PC and have not found any good answer.

    I"m having a decent amount of performance issues that I don't believe I should be having; as my new PC is epically superior to my 2012 MBP - yet my performance has not significantly improved; and in many cases has regressed.

     

    Help please!
