Is there a shortcut for toggling between 0º, 90º, 180º, & 270º with the plan rotated?

indeed, we are all hoping that it's in 2018 as of course they do do know by now!

I'm looking for a full VWA license- office@cad-plan.co.uk

Who would like the door tool improved so we can select any number of folding leaves rather than being restricted to 2 or 4?

Thats very useful Jonathan. Re the custom doors is it still the case that we can't make folding doors with an uneven number of leaves, eg 5 or 7?

Another idea for anyone using VW2016 the simple workaround is to duplicate the callout and then delete the text and just leave the line, you can then point it to where you want

Thanks Jim, I can see that we have been asking for folding doors or a custom door tool for some years now. Are we getting any nearer having that before some of us pack up?!

I agree about the effectiveness of this forum, I wasn't thinking of it more as additional so that you can get responses 24/7 when away from the computer

All sorted now by Alan Wright, strange that the serial disappeared but I have both saved now!

I have emailed them but no reply yet, the only contact number is still switched to answerphone.

I think a Vectorworks Facebook group might work well for a lot of people as well as this forum as responses can be instant. Anyone fancy starting one up for Architect?

Is it possible to view the wishlist by topics eg folding doors or the door tool? If not could we have that please?

One of my serial numbers has disappeared today off a Mac, I can't get hold of anyone at the Exertis number, just a recorded message, we are no longer in the VSS scheme so can't get it there. Does anyone know how to get it?

Great, thanks Alan

We are having problems importing a surveyors DWG site survey into Vectorworks as whatever import scale option we try the 10m grid measures off at 20cm. Is anyone able to offer advice on import procedures so that it comes in at a correct scale/ Thanks

Can anyone out there recommend using a Wacom tablet with Vectorworks & if so which one? Thanks

We have been running VW2016 on Sierra for some time and it seems fine

Yes an overhaul is well overdue, we have been asking for custom bifold doors for years now but sadly it seems to fall on deaf ears even though they are soooo common in residential and also commercial projects... :-/

It looks like this elevation rendering style is still unresolved or have I missed something? Did VW come back on it as it's well over a year now and it would be so good to have this function?

Thanks Jim, It's good to know you are still there. I see that a lot of work has been done on door styles, but can we now (at last) have custom bifold doors? Also have the stair tool & roof tool been improved? Thanks

On another note does 2017 include useful features like custom doors & an improved stair tool?

Hi All, I haven't been on the forum for months now (engrossed in work!). I just went on to post a Q about callouts and noticed that it's changed slightly, I then saw that VW2017 is out. I thought it was odd that Computers Unlimited hadn't notified me as I had a Service Select subscription until May this year. I now see that CU is Exertis which probably explains the drop off in communications. I just wondered what the general opinion is of the change and whether it's good or not as it relates to us users? Are the previous people like Allan Wright still there & at the US end is Jim W still there? I did a search on the forum for Exerts but nothing much came up.

Would you email me please if still available? office@cad-plan.co.uk

Is it possible to make the call out editing window larger as the text is quite small and it can be fiddly sometimes to edit longer call outs with a mix of text and numerals etc?
