Thanks Travis, but all fonts are mapped to Arial, and I'm still getting other fonts. An example: I've selected and modified all text to Arial, and then I modified a Benchmark Elevation (pio?)by adjusting a value through the object info box, and it changed the value but ALSO AWITCHED THE FONT to a diffrent one (can't tell which one it is, but definately not Arial!) Any other tips out there?

OS WINDOWS XP/Vectorworks 11.1 When I open same file on different workstation some of the text shows up in different font! Whats up? Any suggestions please?

How does one get to type Oficce info ONCE into Title Block. Also have done viewport setup but the page number does not appear...? Thanks for info.

Have set up new drawing with Model Setup and Create Viewports commands and started drawing some reference lines through the Task Manager tool (layer Mod-Guidelines), but then when I go to draw my exterior walls (also using Task Manager, layer Mod-Floor-1)the cursor won't click on my lines! Layers and classes are set to show-snap others... What's wrong?! Using VW 11. Thanks for advise.

Right on Dave! I discovered I had a bunch of extra layers linked. Thanks for your precise and prompt answer.

It's happened before, but forgot cure. Getting "confetti" like particles all over my building in my Final Quality renders (VW 11). Please advise. Thanks

Thanks Mat Zero, had been there... but how do you get them into VW? Got a 55 Porsche imported via DWG format, but comes in VERY faceted and without a part / class break-down...

Anyone know of any decent 3d cars to put on our Vectorworks models? I already have the Dosch (sp?) Design ones which are FANTASTIC, but very heavy. Need some "less detailed" for every day use.

Thanks Robert. Your suggestion takes care of the hatch color, but does not help in changeing the color the cavity lines are drawn in (these are set to the color of the wall by default)...

HI, WORKING WITH A NEW PARTNER WHO'S AN ACAD USER AND TRYING TO "MATCH" HIS DRAFTING STANDARDS WITH VECTORWORKS. I DO MY PLANS ON VW 10.5.1 AND ADJUST ALL MY LINE WEIGHTS AND COLORS PER HIS STANDARDS. EVERYTING COMES OUT GOOD EXCEPT FOR MY BLOCK (MASONRY)WALLS. THESE ARE DRAWN ON VW USING CAVITIES TO SHOW THE BLOCK AND THE CORRESPONDING INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR FINISH LINES. I CAN ADJUST THE LINE WEIGHTS TO GET THE OUTSIDE LINES (OUTLINE) THICKER THAN THE INTERIOR BLOCK LINES BUT THE CAVITIES CONTROL BOX DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A COLOR ADJUSTEMENT. SO EVEN THOUGH IN VW THEY HAVE DIFFERENT THICKNESSES, THEY HAVE THE SAME COLOR, SO WHEN EXPORTED TO ACAD THEY COME OUT WITH EQUAL THICKNESSES AND DO NOT LOOK RIGHT (INTERIOR LINES ARE LOST SINCE THEY ARE OVERLAPED WITH OUTLINE LINES). ANY IDEAS TO GET OVER THIS?
