How often does the "Z" key work for you? I have about a 50% chance of that working. I attribute the issue to me not really understanding when to click after the "Z" key is depressed, a nd then the whole thing ends up taking three times longer than zooming in and clicking once.
First time I am seeing this as well. I occasionally (as I am sure other do as well) receive documents from university professionals wielding their student version of VWX to generate drawings of their venue, inventory etc. This new constraint is not going to play well in that scenario.
@JuanP: Was an announcement made recently, regarding this shift in policy?
Has anyone found this same issue crop up in VW 2018 or earlier student files?
Just gonna jump right in here and say after one quick look I plunked my dollars down and am busily updating a current working file with these Symbols, and boy-o-boy are things starting to look spiffy! Well worth the $$
Thing I've found when working with the Leader/Trailer fields is to add an appropriate "space" after/before the text you insert, so the text does not run up against the dimension
This topic has gotten much more interesting now I see it's based in real-world realtime measures: Jeff's need vs DC's ability to deliver in a timely fashion.
Although jeff's comments are a bit vague from where I sit.
Other thing I'd have done in this circumstance is to draw one object, make it a symbol. Then, when I find an issue such as missing object fill, I can edit the symbol and all the rest of the symbols on the drawing are updated at once.
Jim—I hope you and yours are well and thriving. My respect for you is enormous. You have single-handedly kept me (and many others I am sure) inside the VW corral with your authentic care, clarity and lack of enmity towards the many who have been hurt/frustrated/outraged by their VW experiences. You will be missed.
