just another thought, is not possible to make a tool that runs a macro that changes the current class to "notes" and then runs the callout tool?

Thanks to you both, I'll give both a try and see how it goes.

is it possible to create a script so that when I use the callout tool it's automatically inserted into a class called "notes" if so can someone do this for me, I've tried looking at the Marionette tool just can't get my head around the way it works. 😱

can't seem to save palette positions again, annoying, this problem seems to come and go, anyone any ideas?

I can't seem to be able to snap to symbols I've created myself, is there some setting I've missed?

is it possible to have spot heights (levels) in meters and dimensions in mm in the same drawing?

I used to be able to create a wall report which showed the individual element areas but I can't remember how I did this now, can anyone help my failing memory, I think my one bran cell has abandoned ship!!!

couldn't get it to work

there's a free 2d cad package called libreCAD this does tangents circles to circles very easily, can then be imported to Vectorworks. Vectorworks has never been that good a drawing tangents

anyone else having problems with callout tool, the callout shows up in a completely different place than position by mouse. The blue selection squares are showing in a different position than the callout and very large.

still can't get the object info palette to stay the size I leave it when I close and then open VW

How's version 2020 behaving are there still problems, is it worth me downloading and using it yet or should I wait until bugs are ironed out?

yep totally agree, after the fiasco of problems with version 2019 I've decided not to download version 2020 until version 2021 comes out the problems should have been sorted by then. It seems we have all become Beta testers so Vectorworks don't have to spend time and money sorting problems out before releasing the new version.

I think I'll wait to download the 2020 version, 2019 was very unstable will 2020 be the same. I agree the stair tool is not flexible I tend to used a combination of the "custom stair" and "simple stair" tools to model my own, in fact the custom stair tool is more user friendly its a shame a revamp of the stair tool wasn't done.

Thanks Paulo, I always thought the better the Graphics card the quicker the Final quality rendering would be, never mind I'll have to save up for a faster CPU.
