  1. Hi, I'm using Vectorworks 2008 Architect. I have a file that contains only my titleblock for a particular project. I want to be able to reference the titleblock symbol in each of my drawing files, place the symbol on each sheet, and then enter custom data like sheet names and numbers. So here's what I've done so far 1) Created a file called "TB.vwx" in this file is a symbol called "CustomTB". The symbol is tied to a record format called "TBData". Text within the symbol is linked to fields in that record format. 2) In my drawing files, via the Resource Browser, I reference the "CustomTB" symbol in the "TB.vwx" file. 3) I put the symbol down on a sheet in the drawing file. 4) In the Object Info palette I fill in the data fields for each sheet. All of that works fine until I update the referenced file. If I update the "CustomTB" symbol in the "TB.vwx" file and then update the reference in all the drawing files, the data that I entered for all the symbol instances is lost. And, I can't reenter it despite the fact that the data record is still associated with each instance. I've checked to make sure the text in the symbol file is still linked to the record by putting the symbol into a new file. And, it is still linked. It's just a problem in the files that were using the symbol reference before the update. Has anyone seen this and is there a way I can get my symbols to do what I want them to do? Thanks.
  2. I'd like to request WebDav support or even some sort of proprietary version control system. Adobe uses an enhanced version of WebDav for their Version Cue system in their new CS applications. Third party apps can tap into Adobe's Version Cue system by implementing the WebDav protocol in their app. Maybe looking into how Version Cue works exactly would be a good place to start. Macromedia's Dreamweaver also uses WebDav for version control, though not as sophistcated as Adobe's implementation. Some form of version control in Vectorworks would be nice.
