    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Edit : 
    I'm not totally nuts 

    If I open first my file and then open a blank file and section create section viewport, it doesn't work 

    But it work If I apply the viewport Style I've saved 

     

    if I start from crash it works , I think, (one more time) I ve settings from 2023 somewhere in my file, I ve to redo my start template because it si from 2023 but I need time :)
    But it is strange that the settings apply on a blank file ...

    Hello @line-weight, Thank you !! You give me the way 
    I'm going crazy ...

    I did the test in good way ( i think) be cause i wasn't able to do what I want in my file I open a blank one, but with the same result 
    I was at phone and teamviewer with french hotline , who has to investigate 

    And now I 'm back from lunch have a look to the forum , test your answer, on a fresh new file and, it works ...

     

    What have change is that I close vectorworks during lunch ...

     

    I 'm no able to do the same in my file but when saving style (with class and layer by instance) and apply to the other file it works...

     

    So I'm wrong somewhere But I don't no where .

     

    Thank you !!! :)

     

    Editing multiple objects color of selected object

    It sounds like you have your Preselection Highlighting and Selected Object Highlighting set to the same color.  Try and change one of them to something different and you will be able to see what is currently part of the selection and what will be added to the selection if you shift click on it.

    You mean that setup? The color arent the same  image.png.877e9297ee3694523e8a7aba007c3d38.png
    in what i understand (and see) the color setting for preselection object is just for when your cursor is over an object just before you click on it to select it .
    What I need is when you have more than 1 object selected, and want to navigate inside your selection, have a different color for active object selected and inactive object selected (like on a lighting desk ;) )

    What is write in the manual is

    click the center circular button to highlight it again

    but it will be nice to have a color settings 

     

     

    Thanks

    Something new in 2024 the section lien viewport don't keep the class color 

    The last time I use it , I found the the way , but today I can't 
     

    I think I simply have to mask the new section style class , but no ...

     

    I just want the same color in wireframe and in hidden line

    Hello I have a seating section with round tabe and chair 
    image.thumb.png.1e529b9ce55222d5ba0b4b2e4a10bb42.png

     

    I would a graphic legend who reports the symbol used by seating section ...

    I can't find the good setting in criteria in define custom source ...

     

    image.png.fdcc742909336ae9a1aace7dcb59bb76.png



    the only way I've found is to set criteria by symbol with contains table, with plug'in checked ) 


    image.png.9efddd2ec667e876c77e8c6f0ffeea74.png

     

    but If the symbol doesn't contains table it will not work and if I ve another symbol with table it will appear ... (ok ok can filter by layer and by viewport ...)

     

    At the beginning I tried by Type is seating section 

    I seek for symbol used in that seating section but I don't found it ... is it a good way or I'm wrong ?

     

    What is the way for the graphic legend report to the symbol used in seating section style ?

    Table and chair resources

    in Entertainment

    Posted · Edited by Ben3B

    Hello I was customized my tables  and found some problem with data records.

    my table is a symbol with symbol in it 

    So I edit table and chair, without forgot to update records 

    but the records from that symbol wasn't updated in the "global" symbol : table+chair 

     

    Is it normal ? I think that if I did it in other order: edit table and chair before edit the global one may there is no problem ... 
    But I discover the problem when checking my symbol with the worksheet ...

     

    below 4 video when I discover problem and understood it

    Equipment Item Linked Symbols

    in ConnectCAD

    Posted

    Hello I tes the equipment item, and have a problem 

    If I put an equipment item who use a symbol, in my case a speaker.
    So in sheet layer I put a graphic legend but speaker arent recognized ... 

     

    If I put speaker on my drawing and attached equipment item to it, I can use my graphic legend to legend the speaker on the drawing 

    image.thumb.png.4fc2ae82d9737a0ee002f1ece8f2cc8a.png
    Graphic legend is by speaker record, so may I can attach speaker record to equipment item  but it's loosing time
    Or I can use graphic legend by nequipment item , but I've to build new one or modify existing one

    So it will be nice if when using equipment item who use a symbol, it "takes" it record too :)

    back on connectcad whats new since 2022 ?

    in ConnectCAD

    Posted

    Hello I had to leave connectcad behind for more than one year :) And now I switch from v2022 to v2024.

    I have a vwx (attached) with all my device I build in v2022
    I change my job, and would start a new library with the same feeling, but I can't remember how I did, I think this is due to the connectcad change since 2022..

    I see that classes are new..

    May someone can explain me changes who are critical ? 

    Thanks
