[blank classes]

just wondering if anyone has ever come across this before..

after importing a dwg file the resulting VWs file keeps on creating a handful of classes without any names. If i delete these they just pop up again.

its just a hassle scrolling down through them each time i want to change classes.

i import dwgs fairly regulary and have never come across this before .

thanks

[page move / linked layer model]

[command toggle]

since upgrading to VW8.5.2 i have lost the ability to 'toggle' between successive commands through repeat pressing a short cut key. Other users in the area report the same. For example if i was on the pointer and pressed '2' to draw a line then pressing '2' again would return me to the pointer. Is there any fix?

[colour palettes]

found the solution to the problem - a "pantone picker" extension file needed to be in the systems extension folder.

So it was a Mac OS thing and not a VW thing.

[colour palettes]

while trying to create a office colour palette i have noticed that only some machines can call up the Pantone colour ref. system even though they are all running off the mac OS9.0.4

Why is this so?

[dwg tree symbols]
