The text that shows A2 and CP2 was, for some reason, wrapping to two lines. This was forcing down the text below. I remade the text block and all seems to be fine.... Here is the file backVW Data Tags offset.vwx

Here is the file back using the approach I described above..... Led wall_data tag and data visual on view port.vwx

My advice would be to remove the data tags from the LED screen object and then reapply the Data Tag from the Annotations portion of the Sheet Layer Viewport. That way, you will get the render setting you need for Data Vis and nice smart Data Tags in the Annotations of the Sheet Layer. Just remember to use the Sub Parts mode in the Data Tag mode bar. With the settings below, you should be able to apply all the data tags with one click.

These are the Chord Snapping Polygons. Either turn off the Class (Chord Snapping) or edit it and set the Fill to None.

Precise camera position and angle control
markdd replied to Cristiano Alves's topic in General Discussion
Yes, or you can add one from the Edit Camera viewport edit window. When you add a camera retrospectively, you should press the Match Current View button and then make all the adjustments you need, either by using the camera controls or by using the usual tools such as the Flyover and Translate Tools -
Precise camera position and angle control
markdd replied to Cristiano Alves's topic in General Discussion
All the parameters cited above can be set numerically from the Camera in the Viewport using either the Object Information Palette and then by pressing the Fine Tune Camera View button. These parameters can either be set before making the Viewport or by right-clicking on the Viewport and selecting Edit Camera. -
Is it possible to add a custom Line Type to a Cable?
markdd replied to JamesB1's topic in Entertainment
You can do this using Data Visualisation. For instance, if you want all your Feeder Cables to have Linetype with Feeder along it's length, then create a LineType as shown and apply it using Data Vis. I use these settings....- 6 replies

What I think you mean is actually possible using Data Visualisation. Rather than changing properties of particular object Types, you change all objects that aren’t Truss, Hoists or whatever else you want to Hide and everything other than these objects will be hidden. I coose anything that doesn’t have the EntEquipUniversal Record attached which will leave all entertainment objects visible and hide everything else. -
If these are objects that are modelled by you, then you should explore the Auto Hybrid Command in the AEC menu. This command will add correct 2D geometry to a 3D object using a wide range of different parameters. It's a really useful command that will hold the 3D objects inside a "wrapper", and when in a Top/Plan view, only shows the 2D geometry that it creates. If/when you update the 3D, then the 2D geometry will be updated as well.

Can Cable Worksheets use Localized names from CableConnectors xml?
markdd replied to LiteDoctor's topic in Entertainment
Yes. You can use the VLookup Function. You need to make a Worksheet Table of all the "Translations" that you use, and then just reference the table by adding the VLOOKUP function to the SL Cable Run Worksheet. I have named the translations Worksheet 'AT'. You can also add the formula to Data Tags. Here is your file back. Cable Adapter Local Name.vwx I have been working on a new set of Tutorials for the Vectorworks Cable Tools, which will be on the Showvector website soon after the next Vectorworks update is released. You will be able to find a tutorial about this included there. -

Sadly, I think this button was added in a later version of the program. -
Controlling Box Dimensions Via a Record
markdd replied to Sam Marshall's question in Troubleshooting
There is a Command that's been around for ages called Modify By Record. Depending on what kind of resizing you need, it might be enough. -
Yes. Go to Vectorworks preferences and in the interactive section select Interactive Appearance Settings. The Clip Cube options are the first on the list.
