To reduce file sizes with graphical elements I often export an image of a viewport (or a group of elements), and then reimport that image file. As VW’s image file export dialogue is idiosyncratic at best I normally place two locus points (at top left and bottom right in enclosed graphic). I set them out a mm or so (from the corners) to produce a slight oversize image (with a mm or so of white space) and avoid a pixelated edge, and then use the loci to snap to a precise window via the image export dialogue. The loci also provide a way to accurately measure viewport width, again to be able to produce a quality file via the image export dialogue. I’d be quite happy with a script that drew locus points, one at each corner. Has anyone written or is there already a script to place locus points to define the bounding box of an object in this case a view port? In my screenshot of the viewport I have left the view port crop on as a visual guide as this defines the viewport bounding box.

I am trying to export 3D loci to .dwg or dxf (either will do), and no matter what I do the 3D loci do not end up in the .dwg or dxf. The locus are just converted to 3D and all have z = zero as I don't need that data for my end use, and 0 is a valid number (just thinking in case VW is chucking them out like 'junk' DNA). VW Landmark 2018 file encl. along the with latest attempts with .dwg & dxf (from 2012 BricsCAD). Any help appreciated. 244_HEX_3D_loci.vwx 244_HEX_3D_loci.dwg 244_HEX_3D_loci.dxf

The issues with Vectorworks 2017 is stacking up. The latest issue is that some symbols are simply disappearing. It disappears when opening the documents in the morning, I don't think they disappear while in session. Funny is that it leaves a locus point with the symbol's record format attached... Anyone having similar problems? Any solutions?
