Yes I agree. I experienced the exact same problem.

Yes still have the problem after all this time. Jsut thought I'd have another look to see if anyone had an answer. Maybe its because I've got Acrobat Professional installed. Yes and I have Vworks Architect 2008.

Is this feature still dead? I remember following a thread a year or so ago that came to no solution. Would be useful if it worked. VWorks Architect 2008

I posted soemthing on this last year. Still no fix for this? ie the IMPORT PDF otion brings up a nice window explaining there is no plugin. And lo there is a plugin in the folder. Perhaps its just a decoy.

One for the mac users. We have just updated our server to 10.4.11. Since then all mac users have had problems where after opening and working on the file saving and re-opening we get a corruption warning and we can't open the file. The work around is to move the 'corrupted ' file from the server to the desktop and hey presto it opens fine. A long time ago we had problems with windows versions having fallings out with the server. Anyone else got this one? It doesn't happen in any other software so far....

Is there a way of editing arrow sizes when using the dimension tool? Have searched forums thinking this would have come up before.

All updated now and still comes up with same message. Thanks for the reminder though.

We cannot import pdf's into drawings. We get an error regarding a plug in missing (I know of none available) on the macs. Something about authorisation on the pc's. We can import as an image file - but then its converted in the process to a png or jpeg. Anyone know where the plug in is? Running latest VW Architect2008.

Thanks Peter. I did use Layer Link previously. Would be interested to find out the other ways some time too. Still getting used to VW08. I thought that i might be able to do something with Design Layer viewports but havn't investigated so far. Jonathan

Is it still possible to create line elevations by copy convert to lines from a 3D model view? With stack layers I can only copy one layer at a time (ie. one floor of the building). I can convert copy the viewport on the sheet layer but its not to scale....

Mine also starts choosing new colour fills for me and telling me its the class default setting. The class settings dialogue box shows the correct setting - with "Use at creation" selected. The attributes palette gets it wrong.

I have a similar problem though it seems to occur after a drawing has been opened and saved in pc version of Vworks. The class settings get corrupted and I can't switch them back through the class setting dialogue box. really boring this one.

Thanks Katie and Pat. That has sorted it.

I have a VW 2008 file that I can't render the viewport of a stair that I have in the design layer. All the options are available in the design layer. In the viewport only a few options are available - sketch, hidden line etc. and none of them work. The image remains a wire frame.

We are getting problems where the windows machines running windows XP and VW 2008 latest service pack get an apparently corrupted version of a file (created on a mac) when it opens up. It opens fine on the mac machines all running latest versions of software and operating system OSX 10.5. The file on the windows machine shows a sheet layer with the sheet and viewport a mile away from each other. On the working design layer it has created some horizontal lines that seem to run off into infinity. Very tedious.
