    Data info onto object

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by monkey

    yes i have the id label tool, had a quick look but cant see how i can link this to the info i have in the data tab for the object.

    PS these are not symbols, but lots of polygons and polylines with records attached

    Data info onto object

    Hi

    I have lots of objects with data attached. I want a certain bit of that data (ie the object name) to appear on the object itself as text.

    so for example, i have 20 objects with lots of data attached to each of them, each one has a name (code : examplename) held within this data. what i want to do is to have this specific data appear as a text label on the object itself. is this possible without scripting???

    i only have the landmark and fundamentals packages. i know there is a space tool that can do this but i dont think i have it with my config.

    can anyone help?

    thanks

    Origin moving

    use world origin puts it in the right place in the world, simple as that, so you can use x & y co-ordinates as 6 figure OS references (easting and northing), so basically your origin is set at 0,0

    Multifunction production printer recommendations

    we have the MPC5000 and it seems to print photos pretty dark, this can be very annoying, have had it calibrated several times, but nothing has changed. we used to have the oki 9800 and the colour difference between them is quite stark. i would suggest getting one on trial first. we may just have it set up wrongly, but no matter what i have tried, i cannot get it to print how i want it.

    camera match in a landscape context????????????

    Hi

    i am interested to know if anyone has used camera match for producing photomontages in a landscape context. Basically i would like to produce montages of proposed developments (solar parks / biomass plants etc) which are usually located in the countryside, so there are really no buildings etc to have as reference points. can you use the length of hedgerows etc instead?

    I have had a look on panzercad and all the examples seem to be of buildings in an urban context.

    thanks

    Vectorworks 2011 downgrade to 2010

    i have to agree with Cal, i have been left very frustrated with the poor quality of VW2011 release, i have posted many problems here on the forums and have found that others too are having to deal with inconsistencies and features not behaving as expected. A glaring example is the fact that an image that could be imported into VW 2008 now cannot be imported into VW 2011 as it just comes through as a grey box! i Too now have to revert back to a previous version to get my work done because VW2011 just cannot hack it

    snapping in 2011- its driving me nuts

    in General Discussion

    i really dont like the snapping in 2011, it feels very clunky for some reason and doesnt seem to act like it did in 2008. for a start it keeps snapping to the edge of text boxes, why on earth anybody would want to do that i dont know, but when i am trying to draw over a survey plan its is a nightmare as i keep snapping to the levels all over the plan. i have tried checking and unchecking options in snap preferences to no avail, i may be missing something here. i also cannot find the snap radius option that was in the preferences menu in 2008, which allowed you to set a pixel radius, anybody know where this has gone or what it has been changed to.

    if anyone has any ideas of how i can make the snapping better, please pipe in and give me some clues.

    thanks
