    Rename multiple classes

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted

    Maybe I overlooked it but is there a simple way to rename  multiple classes e.g.

    Door_123_green

    Door_123_red

    Door_123_black

    to

    Building-Door-123-green

    Building-Door-123-red

    Building-Door-123-black

     

    With the class and layer mapping I was not able to achieve this or is that the right tool for that job? Than I have to take a closer look.

    Libraries update VW 2017

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    That is a very good question. I did not see any possibility or necessity to install the Content Libraries as Administrator. I use Windows 10 home, before that I used Windows 7 Pro. Do you think I have to start the packet manager with the Administrator option and  run through the whole installation process again? When I start VW 2017 with the Administrator option I don't get the error prompt.

    Landscape Area Settings

    Does anybody has the same problem?

    VW 2017 Landmark, Landscape Area Settings, after the manual alphabetical order of the column "Latin Name" (unfortunately there is no possibility of automatic alphabetical oder) the column looses the alphabetical order after closing the Landscape Area Settings. I think this is a bug, because after exporting the file to VW 2016 I do not have this problem, and I never had it before.

    Thanks Jim for your very quick reply, first I tried to set write access to the libraries folder, but it was reset the next time I opened the folder. The second thing is, that I would download a lot of librairies that I don't need if I set install all.

    Design layer visibilities

    Hi,

    I have a problem with Design layer visibilities.

    I can see only one Design layer at a time (the active layer)

    whatever settings I make.

    Thank`s for any help

    Edit: Solved, a design layer was set to a different scale.

    Have a nice sunday.

    Hi,

    if I save a vwx (2015 or 2016) file to the Cloud Services and open it in Vectorworks Nomad, I can only see red rectangles instead of the symbols, which I see in the preview or in the original desktop vwx file. I had the same problems with the Export of some pdf files.

    Thank's for any help.

    PS. I had the same problem in Nomad 3.0, I hoped it would be solved with Nomad 4.0 and VW 2016

    Scale Objects

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Uli

    Hi Alan777,

    thanks for your reply.

    I know about the way you describe but I don't want to type in any distance. I want to get the start and endpoint of an existing object or any other existing distance as a reference for scaling.

    Best regards

    Scale Objects

    "If specifying the scale factor with the Symmetric by Distance option, click the button to switch temporarily to the drawing. Click to indicate the start of the segment, move the mouse, and click to indicate the end of the segment. You are returned to the Scale Objects dialog box, and the Current Distance value has been specified. Enter the New Distance for the Segment."

    Is it possible to indicate the start and end of an existing segment instead of entering a new distance? Would be much quicker.

    Thanks for any hint

    Move classes hierachically

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Is it possible to move classes hierachically without renaming each class e.g.

    I have the classes

    1

    2

    3

    4

    5

    and I want to move all to the hierachically higher class A e.g.

    A-1

    A-2

    A-3

    A-4

    A-5

    so that I than can collapse Group class A. I don't want to merge the classes.

    Thank you for any help

    Maybe this was asked before, but do you think there are a lot of major additional advantages that Sketchup Pro 2014 has compared to VW 2014 Landmark, or what VW can't do?

    I am working in Landscape architecture and Urban planning.

    Thanks for your help

    white lines image fill

    in General Discussion

    Hi JimW,

    thanks for the very quick reply, I am on SP 3.

    New clean file simple rectangle image fill Nature Gras, maybe you can see the problem if you do the same and zoom into the drawing, thats what I get printed.

    In a scale of 1:1000 I do not see much but in a scale of 1:500 I see it clearly.

    white lines image fill

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    If I use image fills in e.g. polygons I get fine white square lines when I print them.

    The size of the squares with the fine white border lines correspond with the Image settings I length and J length. It seems to me that VW is tiling the image fill but not without grooves (didn't find a better word?)

    Does anybody know how to avoid these white lines or am I the only one with this problem?

    Thanks
