Thanks for the tip. Helvetica Neue and its sub-variants passed. I use this font pretty much everywhere. I was able to find what the replacement character is with Font Book, ڐ is an Arabic character or Unicode: U+690.

Thanks Pat. I’m on update 7, so hopefully 8 is a fix. I’m not sure how this can be captured, the Worksheets work as expected whether they are basic or very complex. The issue is a random occurrence that’s not specific to any particular Worksheet or any particular Row, it happens in both Database and Spreadsheet Rows. When it happens, it can be just one Cell on one Worksheet, or a smattering of Cells across multiple Worksheets. The only consistent feature is that the affected Cells are Cells that only contained text. That can be the Title Cell of the Worksheet, which is typically a Spreadsheet Row or the screenshot Cells above, which were Database Rows dedicated to specific criteria (members types), where the affected / first Cells simply had text in them for the type of member (not drawn from a record). The resulting corrupted or rewritten text typically (I think), is the second character of the original text followed by the j-like character with 4 dots. I skipped over 2023 and moved to 2024 a few months ago. So this project / file (1.4Gb) was started in 2022 and moved to 2024, maybe that’s the cause . . . If it continues in update 8 or in new files, I’ll repost with further details.

Hi Pat, So far no Cells with formulas or that report data have been affected, just Cells with text only in them. For instance, in the Floor Framing screenshot above, the cell beside the B#s just has the text Bearer(s) in it, the same beside the PL#s, which should read Plate(s), the Joist(s) Row has a formula. Everything is intact when a worksheet is imported. At some point (I just haven't caught when or what might trigger it) text Cells across different Worksheets randomly (but repeatedly) get replaced / corrupted. The worksheets are old (well established across many versions), 2024 is the first version to cause this.

I'd love a fix for a minor bug that's happening in worksheets (Vectorworks 2024), which replaces text in a cell with the symbols shown in the examples below. No bug report yet, because when it occurs hasn't been obvious, but it happens frequently. Retyping or reimporting the worksheet is a temporary fix when publishing, but constant checking is required.

Indeed, we must be cautious . . .

Hi @Tyler French this survey email appears to be an ongoing campaign? Using the unsubscribe button at the base of the email takes you to the page in the post above. None of the options available clearly refer to your emails, which category do they fall under?

https://architosh.com/2024/04/autodesk-and-nemetschek-group-partner-on-interoperability/ This seems like a monumental shift / leap forward. @KPrice Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere, I couldn't see it in announcements. I would be very interested to hear from Nemetschek Vectorwork's on this agreement, and what kind of developments might be looked at over time?

Worksheet - Reporting framing or structural members within CSG solids

I haven't made the leap to VW2024 yet, so I cannot speak for the latest edition, but this is a known limitation of the software. There's a (cumbersome) workaround for the problem and a wishlist item from 2018 in the posts below. -

That is good news. So Redshift RT, I'm guessing, will go even further than an IPR, i.e. similar to working in Shaded mode . . .

Not sure if this will end up like the IPR, but Redshift RT, or real-time, is on the Roadmap. Is your example render from VW 2024?

M1 Mac - VW causing brightness controls to not respond?
M5d replied to studiovarey's topic in Hardware
Same here, Mac Studio + Studio Display. If Vectorworks is left as the current desktop of Spaces and the screen saver activates, the monitor will (often) go to full brightness and the brightness keys will stop working. I did contact Apple soon after purchase in 2022, but they had no other reports and I soon worked out the bug only occurred with Vectorworks. Most of the time you can just switch spaces and the brightness keys will start working again, occasionally not, at which point I just close and reopen Vectorworks. And if you can remember, switching away from your Vectorworks desktop before leaving your computer for any length of time will prevent the bug happening. HTH
