Spitfire Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) How are cable (wire) number controlled in VW23? I'm asking about the labeling at the ends of the cable - like how to change the fonts and sizing. Edited October 31, 2022 by Spitfire Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted November 1, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hello @Spitfire, You can modify the classes CC-Circuit-Connector and CC-Circuit-Number to change the look of these texts. To change the fonts and sizing you can assign text styles to these classes and adjust them to your needs. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 1 Quote Link to comment
Spitfire Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hi Nikolay, That worked, but... I needed to 'bump' (move) the objects in order to see the changes. Quote Link to comment

We will see if we can make this happen automatically without the need of reset (move, bump). 1 Quote Link to comment
Spitfire Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Ok, now one more thing. How do I control the text in the Cable Field (see image "PATCH")? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted November 3, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hello @Spitfire, The cable field is using the circuit object class, so whatever class your circuit is in, this is the class you can add text style to in order to modify this text. P.S. By default, circuits go in the CC-Circuit-Signal-<circ signal> classes. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 @Nikolay ZhelyazkovI think Spitfire is asking how to change the actual text (PATCH), not the attributes of the text. Quote Link to comment
