    de select v 2014 at end of files

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello

    I recently upgraded from VW2014 to VW2014 Architect. When I save the file form 2010 , it adds the v2014 at end of file, not overriding the file , but now a copy with new file name. How can i control this , so it does;t add the v2014 at end and overwrites my existing file, so I only have one file ?

    Thanks

    Scaling text in viewport form external file

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Ian Graham

    If I have a plan in my file and am doing a blow up detail of part of the plan on a saved sheet via viewport , the text is huge .

    I can go into Object Info and select Advanced properties and scale text so it looks same as other text. Problem solved.

    BUT

    If I import a plan from external resource [ another file ] and import the plan into a larger scale , for say , millwork , the text is huge.

    Is there a way to control this as we did with above > Object Info and select Advanced properties and scale text so it looks same as other text.

    When I do , the dialogue box is limited and doesn't give me the option to scale text . We have been looking on web for answers , but nothing

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks

    viewports border

    new to viewports and love them. Quick question, if I am setting up viewports on my sheets, how do I control the outline box of my viewport ? Can I select it and not print it. My problem is that my boxes are different sizes and not aligning. I was looking for a dialogue box , no such luck.

    Can I scale worksheets ? I want to be able to use a Door schedule worksheet on large 24 x 36 drawings and small 11 x 17 drawings but can't scale it , even if I use different layer and scale, tried viewports, couldn't do it.

    any thoughts?

    I use the ceiling grid tool to create tile pattern, in FURN/Fixture tool set, very useful. could adjust the centre point and location of grid in the shade, [ arrange the tile pattern ] doesn't seem to allow you to do that anymore? Am I missing something here ?

    1920 x 1200 , 23" cinema display + 20 " display 1680 x 1050

    the cursor is black with white outline, pan is OK, BUT when I select a tool [ dimension , anything ] it is black and i can't see it [ the plus sign ] , when in white background > OK.

    It's when I go to black background , the plus sign stays black.

    No alternative cursor setting

    Should I download SP1 as well. I just downloaded SP2, thinking it would cover everything. If I install Sp1 now, will it screw things up ?

    Back to the problem, everything is fine, if not in black background. It just seams the curser is black on a black background. Tried using full screen cursor , drives me nuts.

    Please help, thanks, Ian

    SELECTING TOOL

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I am using 2008 on a mac. I use black background and pen weight colours. I have noticed that my cursor disappears [ can't see it ] when I select a tool or dimension an item. It works fine when I don't have black background on. It's like I'm guessing where the edge of the object is to measure. . I didn't have this problem before , must be a setting that was accidentally changed. Any tips to rectify this?

    Thanks
