  1. We are a small architectural firm using Vectorworks 2010 Architect, not quite ready to make the leap to 2012, and would be interested in purchasing another license of this version. We are only interest in parties willing to go through the process of transferring the license via Netmetschek customer service.
  2. I did the update to Snow Leopard and have not encountered any problems running 12.5 yet. I'll post any problems I encounter. If anyone else has some issues, please post them. 17" 2.8ghz Unibody Macbook Pro, 4GB ram, OSX 10.6, VW 12.5.3
  3. Steven, Were you able to find out if VW 12.5 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6? I'm in the same boat. 12.5 works just fine for me for now, but 10.6 will do some things for me that I'd like to do. I'll post back if I find out something. I was considering making a separate boot disk with 10.6 and then running 12.5 to see for myself. Thanks for your posting, Christopher Osolin
  4. I'd like the capability to create a symbol so that when it is inserted into a drawing, the symbol takes on ALL the attributes of the class it is inserted into. In other words, if I create a symbol, I'd like it's lineweight, color, fill, linetype, etc. all controlled by the class it's inserted into, not limited to the attributes that were used when originally creating the symbol. This is useful in a number of ways. 1. If you want to have a drawing that uses the same symbol but have it appear differently: dashed linetype, heavy/lighter pen width or with a screened linetype. 2. You can use the same symbol on different classes and control it's visibility through only the inserted class and not it's originally drawn class. 3. Create symbols independent of class, not necessarily knowing how the symbols will be placed into a drawing.
  5. Is there any way to create a symbol so that when you insert it in a drawing it will take on all the attributes of the current class: color, linetype, etc. Coming from an Autocad background we were able to do this quite easily. It comes in handy when trying to differentiate new vs. existing elements of a drawing e.g. inserting a door with a screened lined for existing and inserting a door with a solid lined for new. The only way I can seem to do this now is to create multiple symbols of the same object with different line types, colors, etc. Thanks for any help with this.
