    File deleted on overwrite

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    File deleted on overwrite. At times when I overwrite a file on my company network, the file is deleted and I then I get "failure on attempt to open file". The original file is deleted. I remember having a similar problem several years ago but don't how IT resolved it in that company. Any ideas as how to fix the problem?

    Worksheet export column width

    in Architecture

    Posted

    I found that if I type or paste directly into the cell it will export the complete info but if I do it by referencing another cell (ie: =A4 or =('Worksheet-1':A2)) then I can see the info correctly in the worksheet. When I export it to a txt file then it only exports the first 9 digits or letters.

    Thanks,

    Worksheet export column width

    in Architecture

    Posted

    When I make a worksheet and export it (.txt), if the data width was 9 digits or less I can not ever in that drawing change it to say 18 digits everything is fine except the exported txt file will only have the first 9 digits. Does anyone know how to change this to have the 18 digits in the txt file?

    Thanks

    Help with Object name from Field value

    in Vectorscript

    Posted

    Pat, When I put in valid Record, Field, & Field Data I get a Handle value in debug but it comes up with "Warning: Symbol definition handle not valid." and the message box diplays "7:46:38 AM Symbol Def Name is:". I'm sorry but I still seem to be missing something.

    Procedure Test;

    {$DEBUG}

    Var H1:Handle;

    Procedure DoIt(H2:Handle);

    Begin

    Message(Date(2,2),' Symbol Def Name is: ',GetSDName(H2));

    End;

    Begin

    ForEachObject(DoIt, 'Display'.'Order'='ADNDI');

    End;

    Run(Test);

    Thank You for your time and help on this,

    Thank you for your help. I have a symbol with a field existing in the record. I am trying to get a handle (or symbol name)for the symbol using the string that exists in it's field. The sample code I put up, I was hoping to claify what I was trying to do. I can get the handle if I use SelectObject I am trying to do it with out selecting each object then deselting it. Thanks you for your comments on this.

    Hi, I have been going crazy trying to get an Oject name associated to a field value. I used something similar to the Select object comment to get the handle then get name for something else but I can not get "ObjectNameA" from field value 'ADNDI'. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Procedure tryScript;

    {$DEBUG}

    VAR

    h : HANDLE;

    x, ObjectNameA : STRING;

    BEGIN

    x := 'ADNDI';

    ObjectNameA := 'ADN 22x28 Wall';

    {Record name = various}

    {field name =' '. 'Order'}

    {field value = 'ADNDI'}

    {SelectObj(INSYMBOL & (N = (' '.'Order'=x)));}

    h := GetObject( ObjectNameA );

    ObjectNameA := GetName( h );

    Message ( GetSDName(h) );

    END;

    RUN (tryScript);

    ThankYou

    Import DWG problem 64 bit on PC

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, Has any one had a prolem importing a DWG drawing into Vectorworks 12.5.3 in a 64 bit PC? The files work fine when I do it on a smaller 32 bit machine, but I when I do it on the 64 bit OS it sayes that I have insufficient memory. ie: 42976 k additional memory must be available to import this file. this is just an estimate...larger.

    This is the first import I have tried using the 64 bit system, everything else works fine. Is this a compatibility problem with 64 bit and vs 12.5.3?

    Thank you,

    Allison,

    You know when you have a symbol on the drawing if you press ctrl K U you can edit just that one item and it is not a symbol so you just group it after you are done.

    Hope this helps you.

    I tried your script and running around 9% the script spiked to 50% on one processor for an instant (had to do it several times to catch it) then returned to under 9%. I have a PC not a MAC but I hope this helps.

    Illustrator to VW Question

    Jody;

    When I have text in CS3 example white tex. I make the background transparent then change the color of the text to 1% black. I save it as a PNG, then import it to VW as PNG my file sizes stay small and I do not have a problem with subtracting the holes. EPS will import also the same way if the larger file size is ok.
