  1. A little more info and another question. 1. Just running this as a Mac program, not as a parallel program running windows on my Mac. I just switched from the PC world to the Mac world - completely. Awaiting all those "seamless" Mac days to come to fruition. 2. When you ask me have I run disk utilities - I presume you mean the disk utility for the Mac Leopard rather than a "disk utility" from within VW's. Please elucidate. Thanks!
  2. and so it goes...I'll stick to the "one layer at a time" method. Thanks for your input...this forum rocks!
  3. Hi, Is there a way to export a dxf file for the entire job or do you have to convert each layer separately? I have to pass my architectural set onto an engineer so that he can work on it and this would be a time saver. Thanks, Daniel
  4. ahhhh....simple...thank you so much!!
  5. Seems like when I place a duplex outlet on a wall, it frequently flips to the "interior" of the wall (i.e. in the middle of the wall) rather than the place I want to go - anyone have this problem and how to prevent it? Thanks, Daniel
  6. I have had a bear of a time importing a file from AutoCAD users as well. I unzip the file from the consultant and it appears as a VW dxf file icon on my desktop. When I click on it, it begins to open VW and then when it gets to a certain point, it simply shuts VW's done and I'm back to square one...I never get to see the open file. I have also tried importing from within an already open VW file and while I am able to open the files, it seems like so much is lost in translation. any sense on how to fix this problem...it has happened with several different consultants. Mucho Gracias
  7. hey there Jonaathan...I actually was able to create PDF's and then import those. Thanks.
  8. I have a bunch of notes in Microsoft Word format. Is it possible to import these and have the format remain the same? I just started using version 12 and the General Note tool is quite a bit different from early versions and I don't have the time to learn how to use it. I need a quick and easy solution (don't we all!?). Thanks
  9. I am in the process of running a trial on a 450c, the older version and thinking about getting a new 500 BUT, this is not the first time I have heard of big delays in printing PDF's from these machines. Are there any reasonably priced alternatives?
  10. I too have been trying to import a word doc, with numbered notes for instance, into VW (11.5.1). However, the formatting of the numbered list gets all screwed up and I can't remedy the formatting from within VW. There must be others who have this problem yet I can't seem to find any more info on these BBs relating to this problem. Thanks
  11. Hi, I'm relatively new to this game and I have searched the message board for an answer. I imported an AutoCAD file from a structural engineer whom I'm working with - I want to make changes to my plan to reflect the changes that he made. So, I'm attempting to somehow overlay my plan over his - he has a number of plans on one sheet. I tried copying one of the plans into my layer to no avail: "can't paste a viewport" is what I get. Any thoughts would be helpful...thanks in advance, Daniel VW 11.5.1
