Don't forget the animation layers, the animation itself and the keyframes...

Change the opacity of your Interactive Appearance Settings(VW prefs or Smart cursor settings): General Page boundary set it to 100%

The image props in VW are not compatible with AR and C4D, they are VW objects. Artlantis and CINEMA 4D have their own objects applied with alpha mapping.

You can use one of these... But CINEMA 4D has the Mograph module there you can use one tree(3D object), duplicating the object multiple times and the tree will look scaled, rotated and moved with a few mouseclicks. Of course there are a lot 3D tree/plant libraries to buy: like VBvisual, Xfrog and Vray, these are in 3d, Render realistic and also very fast.

CINEMA 4D Architecture edition or the Engineering Edition... Depending on what for a libraries and modules you want.

Disable Quartz in the VW prefs to print an older file... Don't forget to enable Quartz for VW2009 files. Export PDF will also do the job.

For almost the same money as Acrobat pro, you get the full version of VectorWorks and export the PDF's native.

CINEMA4D is the solution...

No, on OSX10.5 and VW12.5.3 will not work on the R10/11

The plugin is not compatible with OSX10.5 Only the plugin of VW2008 and VW2009 is compatible with OSX10.5 and CINEMA4D R10,5 and R11

IGES, works superb...

And again...

Do I need to give a few shape files, for testing?

I've never thought about that question

Here we have a problem with importing and exporting shp files. In 12.5.1 we get a file out of an GIS database(autodesk mapguide) we can import it to our drawings and make modifications, when we export to the Gis database, the file wasn?t recognized. When we imported a Gis-shp file and make no modifications, and export the file to the Gis database, the file wasn?t recognized. When we try to see what happens with Gis viewer(ESRI) we see the geo reference was not edited correctly, VectorWorks make changes to the file with im- and exporting only(but that?s not useful) Could it depend on the projection method: Lambert Conic, or UTM. Normal we use in Europe Lambert Conic, with the origin in France(I thought it was in Paris) Is this projection method from ESRI? ESRI and Autodesk told us the same, that it could depend on Lambert Conic or UTM. Any tips or solutions are welcome...

A few weeks ago, someone has bougt a MacPro, with all the options, 3,0ghz, 16GB ram, 1,5 TB and a FX4500, with 2 ACD 30" Just for VW12.5....

To instead of tot Do you use Export to PDF in the file menu, or print to PFD, with destiller? Opens Acrobat 6 the files? when you download acrobat reader 7 or 8, I think that, there are no further problems with your text.

For some reason, Acrobat 6 has that problems... The export function from VW tot PDF does the same, even better and faster, and with the recent PDF source(1.5) So why should you still use acrobat 6?

Problem solved by making an new user... strange, but true

We tried this, everything was correctly, but the icons are still not shows(it was also a clean install of OSX). We will make an new user, see if that's the solution.

Here a few corruption issues again... Yesterday VW was for an half an our not used, she comes back, want to work further, but VW does nothing, her whole system freezes, forced quit. She opens the file again, and directly she get the report, to save the file under another name, everything was ok. So far so good, but this morning, the drawing was corrupt, included the one from yesterdays evening in the backup folder. 0,1k OS 10.4.9 on a G5 2.7 x2/1.5 GB, VW12.5.1 Another issue: VW drawings were used for copy and paste work, all the 4 VW drawings are asked to save on another name, all the 4 are corrupt... OS 10.4.9 on 2 IntelMacs 2,13/2 GB, VW12.5.1.

We hava a strage problem: With VW 12.5.1 machine design, the fastener tool, shows no icons in the mode bar. We've switched to another workspace, done a reinstal, take another workspace from a system that works(shows the icons correctly), replaced the plugin and also the IP resources.rsrc This only occurs on a single G5 1.6 single/lGB/GF FX5200 updated to OS10.3.9(on 10.3.8 it worked correctly), on all the onter systems it works normal. Anyone an idea?

It runs normal not faster that 10.4.8 when I started VW once a restart takes a few seconds.

It happens on VW12.5.1 on a PowerBook and on a MacBookPro. On my IntelMac it works normal in all the versions. So that's the strange thing...
