  1. i have imported some symbols into my drawing from another drawing. When i try and eddit the instance it says that it is locked, and will not unlock. i can eddit it in the parent file but i can not update the symbol in the new file. Any ideas?
  2. I have recently received a DWG from an architect. I first imported it into a VWX, then I went to open the DWG in TrueView and a warning came up saying that the drawing was created on ?educational software.? Can this drawing that I imported corrupt other VWX files in the same way as VWX educational?
  3. Thanks i will give it a shot.
  4. When drawing a series of connected polylines is it possible to edit the last polyline rather than escaping the tool and starting over?
  5. I have a drawing which has both 2D and 3D objects. When I go to an iso view of the model the 2D Stays in the front plane. Is it possible to make it so the 2D stays with the 3D?
  6. When ever I import a particular symbol into a drawing and attempt to edit it, I get a message stating that it is locked, and it will not unlock. I can go to the drawing where it was created, insert it and edit it there but not within any other drawing. What gives?
  7. Thanks so much Pat. I deselected Group option and now all is good. you are a life saver.
  8. I can?t figure out what is wrong with this symbol. In all the other symbols I have created this has not happened. I first created the necessary 2d components, then copied them and extruded the items. Now when I import the symbol and change to an iso view the 2d remains on the viewing plain. I have never had this happen before. Any ideas?
  9. How does one import a vwx file into Google SketchUp.
  10. Does anyone know if I need renderworks to do a walk through? When I try to activate the visualization palette a window pops up saying that it is ?unauthorized? is this a glitch or does this mean that I don?t have the proper software?
  11. When i go to activate the visualization palette is a windo pops up saying "That menue is not authorized for use in this application" Do i need renderworks to do a walk through?
  12. Is it possible to set the drawing to shut off 2d objects when you are viewing in 3d?
  13. When I create a simple square object, specify a solid color and then extrude the image, the solid color disappears unless I render the object. Even if I enter the 2d edit window and specify a color, the color shows up but disappears when I exit the edit window. What gives all I want is the shape to have a solid color in 2d.
  14. I have tried that, it does not work. I?m not sure what is going on. The drawing is also set to highlight items that are locked and this symbol is not highlighted.
  15. The symbol and all it?s components are on the proper layer, but when I double click on the symbol to edit it an error message pops up saying that the symbol is locked. I am not sure how to unlock it.
  16. I have placed some symbols into a drawing I am working on. When I select the class that they are on and choose Active Only from the class options pull down, the symbols disappear. I have confirmed that they are on the right class from the OIP. Any Ideas?
  17. Thanks B, You were right, somehow the imported dash styles were all screwed up. How that happened I don?t know.
  18. yes, sorry i still have AutoCAD brain.
  19. Has anyone had this happen? I have opened a new drawing, I am trying to draw a hidden line type but all my selections appear to be solid. But if I select one and zoom in really far I see that it is in fact a hidden line type. What gives? Is there any way to select line type scale like in AutoCAD?
  20. yes I just installed it a few days ago, but the problem is still there.
