Polylines turning into straight lines once linking files
rDesign replied to HannaOK's topic in General Discussion
As Vw does not have “model space” or “paper space” (both being AutoCAD concepts), I think you’ll need to clarify your workflow and provide additional information about what you are doing. It sounds like most — if not all — of your drawing is being done in AutoCAD with one base file DWG being XREF-ed into a second DWG plot sheet file, and then in Vw you are linking to that second plot sheet DWG file. -
What version of Vw are you using? I see it still happening in Vw2024 Update 8, but I don't see it in Vw2025 Update 5.
-
No judgment— but to ease future replies to your posts, it’s very helpful if you post your Vw version and computer / OS info in your signature.

There is a bug in Vw2025 with DXF Exports, which will supposedly be fixed in the upcoming Update 6. That may be causing some of the issues. See the following related thread:

Did you try simplifying the polys in Adobe Illustrator before bringing it into Vw? In Illustrator, right-click on the object(s) and choose ‘Simplify…’
-
Personally, I don’t see a need for a shortcut for this; It takes less than 2 seconds to change the object’s Layer from the OIP. Adding a shortcut could mean accidentally activating it — and moving an object to a Layer that you never intended. A Design Layer might have Story Levels that another DL does not, so accidentally moving a Story Level-bound Object to a DL that does not have matching Story Levels would be a bad thing.

There are many online sites that can convert from JPG to DWG / DXF. Using this one -- Convertio -- I converted your image to DXF. The source image resolution was not great -- which is why the results are less than perfect. But it's close enough to clean up a few stray points in Vw. YOU.jpg.e900bde8ac953565a0e24565159ee483.dxf

I’d probably start with a NURBS Curve for both the front and back arched profiles, and then Loft between them to create a NURBS Surface. Then create a Surface Array on that lofted NURBS Surface. Vw2025 Help : Create Surface Array

iPadOS support… please 🙇🏽♂️
rDesign replied to PenChiselCamera's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
From my perspective, I think what @E|FA posted above outlines the basic, initial functionality for a tablet version of VW (added emphasis mine). Field notes & measurements ideally would be added using a stylus and automatically converted to Text or Dimensions with handwriting recognition. -
Thanks for looking into it. Another issue - I just tried from my MacBook Pro (macOS Monterey 12.7.6.) using Safari 17.6 and it will not auto-fill the email field; It gives a pull-down of my email addresses, I select one, but it will not populate the field with my email.

See the following: -
Over at the Public Roadmap, I just tried giving feedback on several of the scheduled features and it would not accept my submittal. I filled out the required info [name, email, importance level and comments] but when I click the ‘Submit’ button — nothing happens. I tried several different item cards with the same result. I am trying from my iPad Air 2 running iPad OS 15.8.4; I know that it has worked properly from my iPad running this same OS version in the past. I tried both Google Chrome and Safari, but neither worked. Is anyone else able to submit feedback on the Public Roadmap? Thanks.

Thanks. Good to know.

If a widget isn’t possible, then maybe a pinned thread somewhere with a list of the current moderators — perhaps over at the Forum Feedback.
