  1. This is a topic that hasn't gained much attention here.Will Vectorworks ever be available for Linux? Being that Linux was added to the wish list 18 months ago is it now time to make some commitment one way or the other? What are some of the issues that this question raises? I think the hole in the market is still there and Linux popularity seems to be on the rise - I don't think it can be ignored. Like someone else mentioned, Vectorworks is the only thing that keeps me married to Micro$oft. Has anyone tried VW with a win emulator on Linux?
  2. I'd like to see Tech Support in on this one. VA 9.5 has even "closed with errors" just changing between windows. Not with every file though. What gives?
  3. We are running VA9.5.0 on PCs with Win2000- mine's a P3 with 256mb. We experience regular crashes using cut & paste between drawings where one of the drawings is already converted VW8.5.2 file. The error log reports an access violation. The worst part is that this is a new development in our system. We used to be able to do this with no problems and have had no system changes since then. This is a major problem for us as much our work is based on this simple yet fundamental procedure. Do I have to do that monster download again? Help!
  4. I want to make use of the ID tool to label our window symbols with their height and width on the actual drawing so that the window text automatically displays the specs of the window. From what I understand about the ID tool this is possible. However I have struck difficulties - am I doing something wrong? Firstly open up ID_Symbols.mcd, duplicated Wdw ID 1 to get Wdw ID 6. Symbol has TagSchema record attached with Window Record specified in TagType. Edited symbol to get h x w. Linked 'h' to FldlSpec: Window Height and 'w' to Fld2Spec: Window Width Saved file. Double clicked Output ID Prefs Vectorscript. Saved again. Closed file. Opened new file. Created window. Used ID Label Tool to attach plugin. Selected Wdw ID 6. Now I am unclear how to proceed. I only get one field value to specify and do not want either a prefix or suffix. However at this stage Vectorworks tells me that the file 'Plug-ins\vw_arch\data\ID_Symbols.MCD' can't be found!! I get nothing. Closing down Vectorworks and restarting has no effect. File is where it should be. Can anyone help with this? Thanks Andrew
