Does anybody know why im getting this error

In the EDIT WORKSPACE pallete under STANDARD VIEWS there is a list of all the views and I can associate a new key to these, I already know that the numbers from the numeric keypad have been assigned to these but they are not showing up. Why is this?

What if I dont have my own website?

Under my username apears the word APPRENTICE, I have also seen GREEN HORN and JOURNEYMAN just wondering what they mean?

Ok that sounds good. Ive just tried it and it comes up with the error: cant uninstall folder - in use by another program. I have restarted my machine and have got no other programs open. Is there something I need to do first

I have asked on an earlier occasion the method to delete the VW2008 program. 99% of programs have an uninstall feature or the ability to remove using the control panel. Since VW2008 does not I was told to simply send the Folder to the recycle bin which I have just tried. As i guesed it didnt work, instead it comes up with an error saying that various files are being used by another program. I have been told this is the reason that most rograms come with the ability to uninstall as only a handful of very basic programs dont lay there roots into other areas of windows. How can I remove VW2008 efficiently so I can reinstall on a different drive?

I am using VW2008. In version 11.5 if you changed your WORKSPACE you could go to the VW11.5 folder on c:/ and find the workspace in the WORKSPACE FOLDER. In VW2008 i have gone to the WORKSPACe folder and there is only the standard WORKSPACES and not the one that I have renamed and altered. Am I missing something?

Is there seriously no uninstall feature? Ive spoken with a tech guy and he said that just sending the folder ti the recycle bin won't work. There are to many references else where in windows.

I can create a straight Viewport Section, how can I create a Viewport Section with a kink?

Once I have created a roof I want to divide one face into two. How can I do this? There doesnt seem to be any editable features once the roof has been drawn apart from soffit widths Z axis etc.

Im using VW2008, it could possibly be an add-on from OZCAD

Cool thanks for that, I have just found another way to achieve a similar thing. You can use the TOOLS>OPTIONS>SET TEXT TOOL PREFs to assign Classes to certain text types, but you can only use it for four different text types.

I know that I can say make all lines in class "class1" to be black at 0.18 and dash-dot-dash. How can I make all text in say "class2" to be red 5mm or 14pt

How do I change the shade of gray for grayed classes and grayed layers

Is it possible to use linked text? For example on my Ground Floor Plan I can us the text tool to label the Lounge, it would be handy if I could drop some kind of Referenced text on my Cross-Section through the lounge so that if I was to go back to my Ground Floor Plan and change the text from "Lounge" to "Living Room" the text on the Cross-Section would automatically update. Im sure there is a tool to do this Ive used it on an old version of Archicad but unsure where to find it in VW2008.

I have created an EXTRUSION of a POLYGON which I am using for a deck. Can I give the EXTRUSION a hatch of say timber decking (a series of vertical line) so that it looks good in plan view with out having to use TEXTURES? I know I can achieve a similar look with textures by fine tuning the settings but it never looks as good as a hatch. VW2008

Would the figure adjust when I changed the size of the joinery? The good thing about the ID and SCHEDULE tool is that the information is live.

I can alter the stacking order for DESIGN LAYERS. Why can't I adjust the stacking order for SHEET LAYERS? VW2008, 2.80GHz 1.0GB RAM

I am using VW2008, in the window and door tool there is a function called ID and SCHEDULES, in here i can tell the doors to be labelled say D01, D02 etcin plan view, I can also get it to show the width of the doors say 810mm, 760mm etc. Is there a way to show the width and not the "D01" etc?

In the viewport object info palette I can set up the view to say LEFT ISOMETRIC, I can then use the EDIT DESIGN LAYER option, on the design layer I can use the 3D FLYOVER tool to change the view of all 3 layers. As soon as I exit the EDIT MODE the viewport view jumps back to the original LEFT ISOMETRIC. I have also tried changing the view to CUSTOM VIEW on the info palette but can not get to work.

When I use the CHECK SPELLING feature in vectorworks I can add words to the dictionary. How can I remove words?
