It's not in the list...all I have is 2008 & 2009...and I don't find the vw12 version in the workspace editor either. waaah! http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n103/katja2002/kuva.jpg

Where can you find the export command to Vector Works 12.5? I only have File>Export>Export to Vectorworks 2008 & 2009 in the menu. I tried to edit the workspace by trying to add 12.5 there too...but I can't find it!

Hello, thanks for this info...I'm trying to learn this stuff with my friend who has the gis knoweledge but me...not so much. So it's difficult to toggle back and forth when I don't have those files available for fixing. Miguel, does this .prj-file work also when trying to get info on excisting dwg map? We have tried the shapefiles (they come with dpf records not prj)both with AutoCad and with Vector works...and the same thing happens...the shapefiles align nicely with respect to one another,but the map is not where it should be....or rather the map is in the correct location but the shapefiles are off because they seem to have another origin.... Maybe I try to ask the prj-data first and then come back...

Because I have assigned the classes so that it's easier for me to pick the right one through Object Info (using "subclasses" or whatever they are called..Surfaces-asphalt, Surfaces-gravel etc) The problem I have now is that it lists the materials as those names (with "Surfaces" in the front) Is there a way to list only the subclasses so that it lists only "asphalt", "gravel" etc? Or should I just get rid of the "surfaces" in the front...? (Which I find hard to do because I think it's much easier to toggle inside classes when you have subclasses) The second problem that I noticed is that sometimes you need to write extra info to the material lists...now that I have this Database header it doesn't let me to select individual cells where I could type just text. Is there a way?

Oh my god. You people are fast! Thank you Gerrit, it worked! I can't believe how easy it was....

Hello all...related question here, I've been trying to figure this out alone but it's like hitting your head to a concrete wall. I have build my drawing so that on surface layer I have all the surfaces...everything assigned to a different class...the class names follow the pattern surface-asphalt, surface-concrete paving, surface-gravel etc. I made a worksheet where I listed all the surface materials and then calculated the areas for each surface, for example (=AREA((C='surface-asphalt')) So far working well...but then I thought that there must be a way that I can list automatically the surfaces I have used in the drawing. I mean I don't always use asphalt and now that I've listed it in the worksheet that means that I have to hide the rows when I don't need it. Anywayyyy... I tried to list the objects automatically but I can't get it to work. I used a database header and used the criteria List all objects whose Layer is surfaces. It works so far that it understands that there are 6 objects on the layer...but it doesn't give the names of the classes... What am I doing wrong? or do I have to name the objects too somehow? Since they are already in classes can I use the classnames somehow?
