CharlesD Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I have a workflow blocker with what I feel is an arbitrary constraint. I am trying to loop a circuit from an output to an input on the same device, however when attempting to make the connection an error "Same source and destination Device" is presented. There are a few use cases where I would want this, they mostly revolve around self cascading multi-viewers. After a few minutes thought I cannot determine why this limitation exists, it feels arbitrary. Is this one that could get marked for improvement? Or, does anyone have any tips for me? Thanks!

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted August 18, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 18, 2022 Hello @CharlesD, I suppose that you are trying to do this with the Multi Connect mode of the Connect tool. If you try this with the Single Connect mode it will work as expected. The multi connect has some limitations as it is working with more than 1 socket in a device.

CharlesD Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Hi @Nikolay Zhelyazkov- I was trying to do this with the Connect tool. However, after closing and relaunching the software the bug does not appear again. If I can reproduce this I will bump the thread. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted August 21, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 21, 2022 Hi Charles I think you probably had the Connect tool inadvertently in Multiconnect mode. In which case this is as-designed as Niko says. If this behaviour actually appeared in Single Connect mode if you find steps to reproduce please let us know. Best Conrad Quote Link to comment
