    Unable to align objects in 2D Plan View

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello!

    I am unable to align objects to each other in 2D plan view. 3 of the objects are dimension objects and one is a text block.

    My feeling is that because these objects really exist on the Z-plane that maybe I need a choice to align these objects to their "Fronts" or "Backs"

    I've attached a couple of screen shots.

    Batch selection of all elements in a class

    in Vectorscript

    Posted · Edited by Martin

    Hi all. I'm wondering if there is a simple vector script that will allow me to batch select everything in a file (on a layer) with the same class.

    I know that this can be done manually using the 'Custom Selection' command from the menus.

    In a perfect world, this would be a script that would then allow me to choose the class after making the command.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Revision Cloud Tool Crashes VW2011

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    The revision cloud tools causes 2011SP2 to seize. I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.7 - I can replicate every single time I try to use the tool. Every single time.

    My video driver is NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

    I've looked through the message board and it seems that no one else has come across an outright crash like this.

    I'm hoping someone has a possible solution?

    V12 - Can't undo a paste

    in General Discussion

    Hi folks,

    I am having a problem with pasting. I selct multiple obects that are on a lot of different classes.

    After changing layers and then pasting the elements into another part of the drawing, VW cannot undo that paste.

    Also, it seems that I have to be careful about what my class options are. If the option is NOT set to show/snap/modify I get into big trouble. I used to be able to simply pase my objects in and then group them while they are still selected.

    Any tips?

    Thanks.

    11.5 Crashing

    I also have also been crashing specifically doing 3D stuff. We have two users that are doing fine using Spotlight continuously, but I am doing the rendering work and crashing/freezing at least once a day.

    A different label legend hiccup

    in Entertainment

    Posted

    OK folks,

    Here is a problem that is just truly annoying. It is really really great that i can move the data fields around the lighting device. But... If I accidentally drop the 'purpose' inside the fixture, it will anchor itself. When I click on the little x to move it... nada. It seems to me that if any two grips overlap, a problem occurs and I can't move either field.

    Might this be an issue with 'snapping'?

    Try this...

    When you are in the edit legend setup area, zoom out so the setup box is very small on the screen. Then use the cmd-a for select all. I am willing to bet that your labels are way, way over to the left of your setup box. Using the select all will put grips around the labels. You can then zoom in on them and either drag them onto your symbol or cut and paste them.

    This problem has been described in various ways on this help board and every time the folks from Nemetshek will have you believe it's a problem with you or your software. I strongly disagree. It is either a glitch in the code or it has somethoing to do with where your point of origin is on your drawing. Let me know if I'm right. [Wink]

    Thanks folks,

    But there is a misunderstanding. It's not that she can't select the unit on the screen. It's in the OIP (Object Info Pane). She cannot modify any of the instruments information such as 'channel' and 'unit number', etc.

    Her splash screen says she has spotlight. The fixtures are not gray. She can move them around and rotate them and such. [Confused]

    Hello All,

    Has anyone had any problems with other users opening your Spotlight file? My gaffer has SL on her laptop. She can open the file, but cannot modify any of the fixtures in the OIP? It is as if she doesn't have Spotlight, but instead has regular VW. The splash screen is saying that she is running SL.

    Thanks,

    Martin
