This will probably sound like a rant but they're all genuine questions from today using VW (I usually use 'other' cad but have used VW off and on for more than ten years). I have checked FAQ's and browsed thru the forums.
1 Why did 3 (three) classes named "" (ie blank) keep appearing and finally disappear after deleting them at least twenty times? I think renaming them and then deleting them eventually got rid of them (this took me over an hour to sort out).
2 Why does inserting a 'non-class' north arrow graphic create two new classes (north and north something I think) ?
3 Why does a window, when assigned to a different class, only take on about half the class assigned graphic attributes (eg class assignement red pen, glass stays black) ?
4Why can I not select more than one window (or door) in order to edit their parameters?
5 Why are my hatches not available in the composite wall parameters? Only a list of 'standard' hatches.
6 Does the 'cavity returns' parameter for windows and doors actually work for anyone?
7 If it does, why is it not editable once the window/door has been placed?
8 If I want to move a window and snap it to something how do I keep it where I want it? Dragging (the jamb) and snapping to a 'T' wall junction almost always throws it into the other wall. Snapping to any other object will disassociate the window from the wall.
9 Why are plug-in objects encrypted? At least let me edit their grahic attributes. I have spent at least an hour today trying to edit one window so that it looks right to me (and failed).
10 Why are some operations (move, copy , select, polygon edit, etc) always click-drag whereas others might be click-click (resize, clip, zoom, etc). However you set the preferences. This, seriously, adds a significant overhead to my working in VW.
I try to enjoy working with VW but my patience runs far far too thin far too often.
