Might be a good time to learn a little about the SDK and create a VWlibrary that you could call from either VS or Python. Then you would not have to mess with going back and forth. I believe @JBenghiat has created such an animal before. Other than knowing (thinking???) that it is possible, I have zero idea how to actually accomplish this with the SDK.

@scottparker ??

I don't know if it is intentional or an error.

If you have an active Service Select plan you can update to VW2026 you can update and your perpetual version will be VW2026. If you have let your Service Select plan lapse, then you have whatever version was active when it lapsed. The only way to update to 2026 would be to purchase a subscription.

Just put one VW file "MyDevices" (or whatever name you want). Then select the devices you want there in the Resource Manager and use the Export function and navigate to that file. If you also make the file a Favorite, it may be easier to navigate to.

Put it on the wish list forum. I will upvote it.

Actually the markers are saved in the User Folder:Settings:SavedSettings.xml Ask me how I know. 🤦‍♂️ They are not stored in a very user friendly format. And that file also contains all sorts of other data like window positions, so you don't really want to just be moving it between machines that are not identical. You MIGHT be able to quit VW, open the SavedSettings.xml file in a text editor like BBEdit, and overwrite the section <ApplicationMarkerList>. But make sure you have a backup in case you mess it up. I had to go back to my backup today (which is how I know) because I was being "smart" and just deleted a bunch of markers to see how I could get them back. And then couldn't. Not even with a reinstall. I probably (certainly) could have deleted the User folder, but I didn't want to have to try and remember what I had customized. I did not see anything that looked like the line thickness settings in the SavedSettings.xml file.

Can you post the file or at least the pieces that are showing the problem so we can take a look.

There is nothing in VW to do what you want that I know of. You might be better off asking on a CNC or other machining forum where you are likely to find a larger percentage of the users are interested.

@Gunther Known Issue?

What hardware and operating system? What version of VW? Check these threads:

@Tim Ardoin ???

These are from Appendix G of the VS Function Reference. https://github.com/Vectorworks/developer-scripting/blob/main/Function%20Reference/Appendix/pages/Appendix%20G%20-%20Object%20Selectors.md The formatted version I posted is from the downloadable version that was included in VW2025 (and no longer supplied in VW2026). If you have an older version of VW installed the path is: Application Folder:Vectorworks XXXX:VW Help:Script Reference:ScriptFunctionReference.html Clicking on Additional References (??) at the upper right will show you a link to the Appendices.
