Thanks for the help so far, a specific example would be me in a sheet view and I edit a symbol the entire drawing redraws itself. It does this if I'm on the sheet, in a viewport (crop & annotation) or anywhere else in the sheet view. It is very frustrating as it can take 2 hours just to change some elevation tags in the viewport annotations. Thanks again for the help.

Actually that would be great if that is what it was doing, unfortunately whenever on a sheetview it refreshes the view constantly just like when working in the drawing space. Do you know is there a setting to toggle between these two modes. My viewports do not show live sections or elevations as that is how the drawing was started before I got a hold of it. Thanks again for any help.

Let's see if it works this time. Forgive the double post if they both work, sorry. I am running Vectorworks 12.5 and and doing complicated building elevations with multiple overlaping viewports on a sheet. My question is how can I change Vectorworks to not refresh the view every time I do anything with the drawing (i.e. draw a line, change view slightly)? I come from using AutoCAD and you use a command to refresh the view when you want to and not when the program wants to. Any help at all would be appreciated as I'm getting quite upset sitting waiting for the screen to refresh constantly.

Alright, sorry for the delayed response. The PDF size is 144'x96' so naturally it's 1/4" = 1'-0". I do have Quartz imaging enabled, should this make a difference? Thanks once again you all are great. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Oh sorry about that. I must have had my finger on the wrong key and then didn't proof read. I'm using: MAC OSX 10.4.11 Vectorworks 12.5.2 Sorry for any confusion, do you have any ideas now?

No problem I'm using: Vectorworks 12.5.2 MAC OS 10.2.11 Not a pressing matter just would like to see if anyone has run into this and if they found a way to fix it. Thanks

So nobody knows or is the explanation not good enough? Please, any help even off the wall ideas greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am a new user to vectorworks but not to CAD software. My problem is when importing a .pdf file it is not visible until zooming in incredibly close or very far out. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. The lines do show up but I believe are so fine that they don't register until zoomed in completely on the object. Any thoughts, idea's greatly appreciated. Thanks
