[Best Way to Eliminate Classes from dwg. Imports?]

Best way I find to resolve this is to open a new VW file and then import the DWG file. Save that file

Then on your working file use Create Viewport, on a design layer, then select source and create the dwg as reference file.

You can then control what you see through the VP dialogue box.

[VW 2010 & Lion compatibility?]

I've heard Quicktime 7 won't be working on Lion so QT VR export will be over. Is this correct?

I have created a backup drive, using Super Duper and updated it to Lion.

I have exported from 2010 to Artlantis Studio & a created a QTVR

By default it opened in QT7, when I tried to open in QT10 it said to use QT7!!

The file runs fine.

[Drawing A Line]

Hi Jeffrey,

A problem that someone has reported to me, using Xp & 2008 SP3 is that the data bar refuses any additional entries after the first one, ie you can tab the length, and tab again for angle, nothing happens.

Have you seen this problem before?

Thanks in advance

[Robe Symbols]

Here you go, now with Robe file goodness

[Importing igs files]

Hi Brian

Can you submit your file, as a bug submit, top of the list to the right>VW Community links, as well.

[Rotating curved truss]

Kevin,

Thanks for that, I had tried that check box, but I did not look for the right changes.

That would be useful to have for all Hybrid objects, especially 2d/3d symbols

[Rotating curved truss]

Must me missing something, how do you rotate a curved truss in the vertical plane, ie to create a curved proscenium arch?

As soon as it is ungrouped and then grouped it can be rotated, but loses all the truss parametrics.

[Trilite Truss]

You can set the truss tool to 150mm to correspond with the square, ladder or triangular trilite

["random" window fading/dimming]

If you go to VW Preferences>Interactive>Highlighting and uncheck animation or burst that might cure your problem

[Importing igs files]

The file was created in Pro-Engineer I believe.

What is strange is that 2008 will cope with it but not 2009.

[Importing igs files]

Just tried importing an igs file, had no success with 2009

Go to 2008 and file opens fine.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Inconsistent and glitchy prints]

Christiaan,

Have you got someone in the office using autocad style fills?

Looking at this detail, this may be situation

[Is this normal ?]

Its an issue with activity monitor, when I checked Photoshop the VW stats stabilised, and matched those of PS

[VW signaling a strategy change?]

I think you will benefit from some on-site 1 to 1 training and you will find you will not have to recover many more bundles of $2250

[Is this normal ?]

Do you get the same figure after a restart?

Is it the same figure with all files?

If so submit a bug to NNA

[NNA RESPONSIBILITY]

Although Steve Jobs other board position at Disney, through the sale of Pixar, means 3D animation is close to his heart.

I heard a couple of years back of Apple's interest in the 3d market sector, but it seems this has not been developed as far as their own software branding.

[Rendering problem]

No Display??!!

[VW 2009 Slow]

VW 14 with the current (first or second upgrade) is slow for me too.

Is this delay or slow speed a problem for others still, or is it something unusual about my configuration?

Check out this article, with reference to the Video Cards and 30" screens

[Purchase decision]

I have a license of VW 2008 Designer with RenderWorks (Mac platform). I've been informed that I need to upgrade to the latest version ($500) in order to switch platforms from Mac to PC

Who has informed you that you need to pay to switch platforms, VW2008 is not platform dependent. You should be able to install on either platform. This is certainly the case in Europe.

[SP2/2009 won't install]

Looking on the website it seems that the instruction to update is done from the updater, rather than via the programme.

http://www.nemetschek.net/downloads/fundamentals/2009/2009SP2.php

I wonder if Nemetschek can shed any light on this??

[SP2/2009 won't install]

I tried it three times, but SP2 update for 2009 is not installing - at least, in "about VW", it still shows SP1 build 96841.

Tried rebooting my mac, tried downloading SP2 twice from VW.

Never had problems with this before.

NNA, please help...

Are you running either Educational version or another E series?

[11.5 on Leopard]

Has anyone got VW11.5.1 running on OS X 10.5? It runs but there are serious graphics problems (there appears to be a pixel pattern over the whole drawing window).

I say this because we have 7 licenses and two new Leopard machines that can now not run 11.5.

I know an upgrade would 'fix' the issue, but at the moment buying 7 2009 license upgrades isn't an option. In fact... that may not even be the solution as I have a 2009 demo DVD that has other really bad display problems.

One solution is to buy VMWare and run 10.4.11 on that then you can run 11.5 on the old style interface.

But really the benefit of upgrading to 2009 will far outweigh what you can produce on 11.5

[Vectorworks 2009 Student Edition Now Available]

Not yet, as there is an E-series warning, it will be available in a few days. Also if you check through the software, there is no update available.

[Local/Regional Training]

I have noticed a number of forum members live in my 'region' and offer training.

My question is diverse, from - how do you (I) evaluate/select a trainer, to - what does it cost, how is it conducted, would/could training be 'tailored' to my experience and needs?

Guessing this is a concise start. Thank you.

This would be a good time for Nemetschek to validate trainers, so that there is a recognised certification process.

It would also make it easier for users to brush up on their skills.

There must be some ISO accreditation that could be achieved which is good for users and their clients.
