In the preferences the pathe is /volumes/Resources/CAD/Vectorworks/Toulouse Workgroup, in Finder its smb://x/Resources/CAD/Vectorworks/Toulouse Workgroup, with x being the server address Vectorworks is not set to open automatically.

Hiya, I'm just starting to look into workgroups to help streamline stuff in the office, but I've just discorvered that every time (on multiple computers) that restarting my pc vectorowrks will 'forget' files in the workgroup. For instance my templates (the only files in the workgroup so far) are normally: but upon restarting my pc it will only show 1 or two templates randomly. Restarting just Vectorworks does not have this problem, and I have seen it on my pc and a coworkers. is there a fix for this? am I doing something wrong? Cheers, Nora

The only other thing I am struggling to learn, is how do I turn this into one object? When I use my tool it just places all these as separate objects (lines, symbols, and text) but I would like it to be one object so when I click it I can update the parameters and have it "redraw" itself. The other thing is would it be possible for me to move the group of symbols but keep the arrow pointing at the same point, the only way I can think of is to have it waiting for if the group is moved and then redrawing the line, but I fear that would slow down the document quite a bit if I have lots of these on the drawing. Thanks for the help!

Thanks heaps for your help, this worked a treat!

Hey Pat, I couldn't really get the marionette to work for me, other than converting to object node and saving as a symbol, but that didn't feel like a great solution to me and I couldn't get as far as I wanted to anyway. But hey, it lead me to learning to code for the first time and I've almost recreated it in vectorscript! Cheers, Nora

Hi There, I am trying to make a callout style tool using the plugin manager and vectorscript, however I can't seem to work out how to make the main part of my plugin place after only two clicks. I am trying to click at one point, where I want the start of my line, and then click a second point, where I want the end of my line and the rest of the object to place, However I click once, and it starts getline fine, but after I click a second time getline disappears and then I have to click a third time for my object to place and the line to draw, but the third click won't be where I'd like it to be. my code is: with ptx1,pty1 being the initial first click, and ptx,pty being the second {Draws Initial Line} GetLine(ptx1,pty1, ptx, pty); REPEAT UNTIL MouseDown(ptx,pty); MoveTo(ptx1,pty1); LineTo(ptx,pty); Any help would be great. I also can't seem to make the object one thing with parameters editable in the shape window, but thats an issue for later. Cheers, Nora

Hiya, I have made a callout tool using the marionette feature in Vectorworks, and running that as a wrapped network does what I want it to, as well as converting it to a node object. But when I convert it to python script, and then copy and paste it as the script for a PIO, it gives me an error when I try to place it on the design layer. I don't know anything about python or vectorscript, and I've just taught myself the marionette in the last day or two, so I'm very fresh and looking for help. I have attached the python script and the marionette. Anyway thanks for reading I'm happy to hear any help. Cheers, Nora GPO Callout Script V01.txt GPO Callout test.vwx
