If you can get an orthogonal view of the intersection you can probably use the Trim or Split tools to make the cuts. I have done similar things with pipes before and have not found a way I am really happy with. Making changes afterwards is always a pain.

Do you have Class Options set to Grey Others by any chance?

Curtain wall? Or a single window and use the Custom Symbol option? I should probably be quiet and let the architects who actually do this answer instead. ;-)

It is likely that the units in the DWG are not cm. Can you measure something and see how much it is off? 10 would suggest mm, 100 would suggest meters, 2.54 would suggest inches, 30.48 would suggest feet. Or it could be the inverse of those values. HTH

Yes, you can just delete the files. If you are on Mac, that is the way. On Windows there was not an uninstaller until recently (I think maybe 2020).

Looks like you are out of luck.

Are you sure they are exactly coincident? If the diameters are slightly different, or the center points are even slightly off you will probably get the separation lines.

There are five concepts that you might want to think about: User Folders, Workgroup Folders, Default Content, Styles, and Favorites. Default Content are object and styles that are selectable based on the tool chosen. These must be placed in exactly the right folder to be able to be found. Examples would be Line Types, Text Styles and Markers. These go into Libraries/Defaults/"Name of specific object type here" Just store any VW file in the correct folder and any any object of the correct type can be used as part of the defaults the next time VW is restarted. Styles are similar to Default Content, but are stored in Libraries/Object Styles/"Name of specific object type here". This would be object such as cabinets, doors, windows, tables & chairs. Again, store any VW file containing objects of the correct type in the folder and they will show up as default styles. Default Content and Styles are actually read from three locations, the Application Folder (for items shipped with VW), the User Folder (for things you want to keep to yourself) and the Workgroup/Project folder (for things you need to share with other users). Files that are named the same are prioritized as Users > Workgroup > Application, so just by putting an empty file in your user folder you can eliminate items that you don't want to see from the Applications folder. Finally, Favorites are just VW files that you can save anywhere that is convenient for you but can access easily from the Resource Manager. A Favorite is just an ordinary VW file and it can contain any type of VW object in however many folder you want. HTH.

One trick about inserting objects into walls is that the tip of the mouse pointer must be over the wall. If you grab a part of the window that is outside of the wall and place it where you want it will not insert into the wall. Likewise, if you try to move an object or door and grab a part of the object that is outside of the wall, it will "un-insert" when you stop moving it.

In VW2021 you can enter the history and edit the fillets. In VW2020, you have to Ungroup to undo the fillets and then redo them.

Untested, but try this, change this line near the bottom: SetWSCellFormula(H1,1,1,1,1,'Layers in File'); to: SetWSCellFormula(H1,1,1,1,1,Concat('Layers in File: ',GetFPathName); HTH.

I believe that student extensions are processed manually. You will probably not get a response until Monday. If you don't hear early on Monday, contact Customer Service directly.

To expand on Josh's suggestions, if you give the Viewport Crop Object a Name at the bottom of the OIP, then you can add a criteria of Loc='Enter the crop object name here) and you will be limited to objects that are within the viewport crop. Objects that are only partially in the crop area may or may not display depending on where the insertion point is.

If you have Time Machine turned on you should be able to get it back. If not and you don't have older backups (or it saved to Dropbox or something similar) then you are probably out of luck. Good luck.

It is not the line type, it is the rendering. Design layers "render to infinity". That means that you will only be able to see objects that are on the top design layer. The standard way to do this in VW is to use a Sheet Layer and create a Viewport for each of the views. The viewports only render to their edges so you can show more than one thing on the layer.

It should probably be NextLayer. I don't know what NextObj does if you pass it a Layer handle.

Learning to use Subdivision well would probably be your best bet for that type of object.

Nice Michael. I was going to throw something together. I would have not bothered with the counter and just used a While LayerHandle<>nil to control the repeating. Completely untested and typed here: Procedure SetLayerScale; Var H1:Handle; Begin H1:=FLayer; While H1 <> Nil do Begin If GetObjectVariableInt(H1,154)=1 then SetLayerScale(H1,100); H1:=NextObj(H1); End; Run(SetLayerScale);

You should be able to put your files in the Defaults folder (similar path as above) of your Workgroup (yes you can create one even if it is just for you) or User folder. Then the files will not be overwritten by a VW update. Files with the same filename in the User Folder override those in the Workgroup which override those in the Application folder. Give them different names in the same folder path and they should still show as defaults. At least that is how most of the other PIO defaults work. I can't confirm that Spotlight works that way also.

As you probably know, this is easy to accomplish once a dimension is placed by unchecking the Show Dim Value box and entering the EQ into either the Leader or Trailer field. But since neither of these are part of the Style, no you can not use a Dimension Style to accomplish this. It may be possible to create a Custom Tool and edit that basic script to do what you want.

@Boh is also correct. But remember that if you do Layer Referencing, ALL of the classes that are in the referenced file will be imported into your drawing. If both files use the same class names but different class attributes, there will be issues with how things display. If the referenced layer is truly a reference and not something you want to modify I think it is better to keep the reference contained and just have separate viewports for what you want to see. But try both and see which works better for you.

The only work around is to import a second version of the Referenced viewport and set the visibilities there.

I think the Publish was very different functionality than the old Batch Print, but it has been too long to remember all the differences. I know that you could print to a printer or to a PDF file, but that was a raster output rather than the Vector PDF generated by the Publish (or Export PDF) command. You could also not export other types of files like Publish.

Quick thoughts. If the thickness is basically uniform, you could loft just the outside (or inside) and the Shell the resulting NURBS to get a solid. Or Loft the outside and the inside separately, create end caps and convert to solids and then subtract solids. You will often need to use a number of steps to generate this kind of object.
