    VW2009 and Service Pack 2 / [Still no] track pad fix

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by dtheory

    strangely, when I try to run this script via Tools > Scripts > Run VectorScript...,

    I cannot select it (item is greyed out)

    and yes, it is renamed as in the message above.

    N.B. I am able to run the script only with the ".txt" extension, item remains greyed out with the extension ".vs"

    This script remedies the redraw after zooming issue on my MacPro tower referenced in post:

    Major issues w/ Create Joist from Poly

    in Architecture

    Posted · Edited by dtheory

    temporary solution: also reinstates the i-joist!

    It seems to work fine to substitute the relevant plug-ins from 2008 for the corresponding ones in 2009. (I have not tested this extensively, but it seems to work for me). They reside in the plug-ins folder in the root level of the Vectorworks folder

    the plug-ins are: Create Joists from Poly.vsm, Framing Member Tool.vst, FramingMember.vwobject

    For safety, put the plug-ins from 2009 somewhere of your choice for safekeeping to put back (hopefully to be updated) when the next service pack is issued.

    FYI: I am running 2009 sp1 on an 2.8Ghz octo-core Mac Pro w/ 10GB of RAM OS 10.5.5

    Hello All,

    I have noticed a curious phenomenon.

    I too had the problem refered to by Christiaan (above)

    >>3) all printers are missing from the VW print dialogue box so we can't print

    For some reason moving my Vectorworks folder out of the (default) "Applications" folder to another that I have created on my machine called "Applications (X)" brought the printers back...

    moved the folder back to "Applications", the printers disapeared again. Printers seem to be gone unless my vectorworks folder is in any folder OTHER than the default applications folder...

    (yes I have repaired permissions for my machine)

    Printers also are present when logged in as root though my normal day to day account is administrator...

    VW 11.5 Now Available!

    THE "STILL NOT FIXED":

    STILL no mouse wheel support in Layer/Class windows for MacOS?? This functionality is also missing from "Replace Symbol" window, "Edit View" window, and countless others.

    I would like to see this remedied as well as allowing more general resizing of dialog boxes that have long lists of variables. Not to mention

    eliminating more of the modal dialog boxes infavor of controls ala Cinema 4d.

    I am guessing that these are pretty trivial to implement from a coding standpoint and others are not and that NNA simply has devoted the resources to adding features rather than fine tuning what is there already.

    The long standing dockable palettes on the Mac request would be great too. I understand this is non-trivial and woud require a lot of work.

    On the plus side, a mouse wheel compliant scrollbar has been implemented in the OIP (which by the way does seem considerably more responsive).

    This is a significant improvement.

    thanks

    nudge a window?

    This may have been discussed before...

    Is it possible to nudge a window (or door) in a wall by using the nudge keys alone?

    I cannot seem to find a way to do this...

    Thank You all,

    Thanks for the response.

    In that case let me report a bug...

    the favorites tab is not in evidence (on the Mac) in Explorer, Camino, Firefox, Safari, Mozilla,Netscape or OmniWeb

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Referring specifically to my previous posts,

    I was asking if the "favorites tab" WITHIN the VW 11 help system is available, not just the help system generally which does launch successfully in the browsers mentioned above.

    Thanks,

    David

    Hi Katie or anyone else,.

    Let me put it another way...

    Can the favorites tab of the Vectorworks 11 help system be accessed on any browser

    running OS X?

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    Has anyone using VW11 and OS X (10.3.4) been able to access the "favorites" tab in the online help system?

    I have tried a variety of browsers: Explorer, Camino, Firefox, Safari, Mozilla, and the favorites tab is not in evidence...

    Java is active.

    Thanks,

    tilted walls?

    in Architecture

    Posted

    question:

    is it possible to create a "tilted wall"

    ie: a parametric wall that is not "plumb"

    (not referring to the plumb conditon of the

    wall ends, but to the wall faces)

    thanks
