    I'm just got an iPhone 15 Pro so that I can use Lidar for my residential landscape designs. Which apps work with Vectorworks? Thanks!

    I create a shuttle file by importing the .dwg into a vwx file too.

     

    Where I get lost is what to do after importing the new dwg into a new vwx file and renamed it to match the old one. I u[dated the reference file and can't find it. I've gone to both files to set the internal origin to match but still can't find it. Help!

    Are there any consultants that can help with a system that works for setting up reference files using .dwg which needs to be updated? I haven't gotten answers from VW that work. I've spent over a day trying to update my drawing and having VW tell me that all I need to do is ..., which hasn't worked on my end. I usually import a survey that doesn't change, but I have several more complicated projects that require consultants updates. Thanks!

    Vectorworks charging for transfer of ownership

    in Buying and Selling Vectorworks Licenses

    One value provided by an ongoing transfer fee is that VW will be able to help with lock-out problems only if they know who the rightful owner is.

     

    VW has a limited number of activations.  If you installed your license on a couple of machines, decided you didn't like it, uninstalled it, and sold the license, It is likely that the new user would not be able to activate due to too many activations. If VW knows the license was transferred they can reset the activation counter.

     

     

    What is the cost of a transfer fee? Who is it paid to?

    Detail viewport- how to modify plant tag font size and orientation

    Select the Viewport. In the Object Info Palette (OIP) scroll to the bottom of the Shape pane and click the Advanced Properties button. From there you should be able to put in a scale factor for text size, line weights, etc.

    Thank you, Pat. I was able to adjust the text size, but the shoulder lines are now far from the text. I tried modify>align> align/distribute leader lines. Do you have any suggestions? 

    2018 High Sierra Compatibility Issues

    in Wishes Granted / Issues Resolved

    Posted

    I just found out about this issue although I've talked to technical support about problems since I started using VW 2018. I join the other posts in voicing my discontent over this issue. It needs to be resolved ASAP and not in 2019 as I was told this morning. Does anyone use Sketchup for landscape design?

     

    Is anyone else considering using Vectorworks 2017 until they resolve this problem? 

     

    Thanks

     

    dwg reference file

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Is there a way to identify a class used in a referenced dwg file? I used to import dwg files into a separate file, select the classes that I wanted and then import it into a new vw file as a referenced file. This time, I've importing the dwg into a vw file as a referenced file. There are over 100 classes with the many consultants involved. I use Landmark 2018 on a Mac High Sierra.

    Thank you! Terri

    Phased planting plan

    in Site Design

    Posted

    Bryan,

    Thanks for your response and offer to help me. To clarify, it's not the plant list but the plant tags on the drawing.

    It's the class that's created automatically with the place plant tool: Plants-Component-Tags. When I select a single plant, all of the characteristics and options display in the Object Info Palette. I can change the tag display option to none for a single plant or grouping. However, if I select the first phase (or another phase) plants with a custom selection, only the layer, class and number of objects displays in the Object Info palette.

    When I changed the class option to active only or anything other than show/snap/modify, I get the same results in the Object Info palette.

    The new plants for each phase are in a separate class but on the same layer. I don't know if I can create a separate class for the plant tags for each phase that will connect to that phase.

    I want to show the plant symbols for the entire project but only have the plant tags and plant list on the drawing for that phase. I'd like to know a more efficient way to do this that to select each plant grouping individually.

    Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Terri

    Hi,

    Is there a way to include my plant symbols for one phase on the same drawing as another phase without the plant tags showing up for both phases? When I've tried a custom selection, the object info palette doesn't show the option. I don't know if my file is corrupt or if this just isn't an option.

    Thanks,

    Terri

    Plant list for phased installation

    in Site Design

    Hi Wes,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I found out that I needed to Ctrl click in order to access the "edit criteria" option.

    Jonathan Pickup has a helpful video on YouTube. VW has a good video techtip entitled "Organizing Worksheets" which really clarified how to organize my plant list worksheet to meet my needs.

    Plant list for phased installation

    in Site Design

    Posted

    I am creating a drawing for the Phase I installation of a master plan. I would like to create a plant list to include only the plants in a class for Phase I. When I bring my plant list onto my drawing, it shows all of the plants, even for those on classes that are invisible.

    Although I was told that I could edit my plant list worksheet to control what's included, I have not been successful in determining what to do. What are the steps to achieve this?

    Thank you!
