1) XML vs TXT Can anyone explain which format is better to use for database in notes? TEXT is easier to edit, but it has a tail with -end of notes- listing for 1st instance of every Section of Database with unique name XML has no tail like TXT has, but it has tags and not so easy to edit manually. see first Screenshot "DB Notes Test.png" 2) In either format Can you please share your Name Convention for your Sections/Category in Notes Database for Architectural, Structural, Landmark or Civil? See attached Excel file "Notes Database Section Names Arch.xlsx" It has a list of some Sections of Database used in Architecture (a courtesy of member Dick Jenkins). I invite everyone to expand and share this Section naming info. Notes Database Section Names Arch.xlsx

@Humma can someone tell me what will happen when we use UUID in all Notes, Keynotes, Callouts and then try to use copy of the same database with relative path inside the project folder for each working file (this means we copy General notes database from user folder to local folder) in such scenario we have duplicate notes (sometimes revised notes) but with the same UUIDs ? I was hoping that copy will change the UUIDs, but no it is stays the same in every copy. Will this create a problem in VW when copying and moving notes database files?

Hello @rDesign Please see attached VW 2025 file named "Dot Hatch for Grid.vwx" with Dots you are looking for. Also attached is a collection of hatches I use, provided by Kat (Katerina Panagiotakis) , the dots are part of her wonderful collection named as 01. grid dot Dot Hatch for Grid.vwx KatsHatches v2019 v2025.vwx

Dear @KaterinaP In 2020 @michaelk shared with us your wonderful collection of Hatches, which I use all the time and greatly appreciate it. Thank you a lot. In your collection all the hatches are made from symmetrical parts. The Hatches I am looking for are NOT typical repeated patterns. Can you please follow this discussion about creating Hatches and look at the attached VW files. Do you have any other tool, better than VW archaic tool for Hatch creation?

Amazing tools. I want to know more about _c_ if it is not a secret, please share: full name ? link to some more info about her work?

To avoid making Wall into Solid after cutting opening of any shape I use Recess tool. In case if you do not have that tool in Spotlight then I highly recommend free plugin for creating opening in wall while keeping it as a wall. it is a free plugin made by Paolo Marcucetti called Openings.vso ENG 2024 attached here you also can visit his website or contact him at @Paolo https://fitplot.it/vwplugins/ See attached free plugin Openings.vso Openings.vso
