Hana L. Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Does anyone have problems with plant tags in VW2023? the plant tag shoulder on my newly updated VW2023 doesn't want to move where I want it to be - doesn't adjust when dragged to a new position. It only extends the shoulder length but keeps the same pre-set angle. I've tried to check all the settings but can't see anything that's set up differently tan in previous versions of VW I've been using. If I use an old file, i.e. created in older version of VW the plant tags work fine and can be adjusted as I see fit, when I try to select a new plant and add it, the plant tag doesn't adjust. Any suggestions how to fix this? Quote Link to comment

You probably need to change your plant style's tag settings for "approach angle" and "shoulder angle" to by-instance if you wish to change their location and angle. The default plant insert setting makes it all "by style" which may be locking the control over the shoulder line placement since it is defined "by style". 1 Quote Link to comment
B_Manc Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I'm having the exact same issue! The vertices (?) on the plant tag are not showing, so I can't change the length/width/location of the tag. I have ticked 'enable tag shoulder line' and 'snap tag to plant centres' Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 @B_MancDoes your other post mean that your issue was having the first mode of the Selection Tool, No Interactive Scaling was the problem? I bet that is the problem. With the first mode selected, you get no handles on the Plant Tag. In the other two modes you get handles. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Peter Neufeld. Posted November 12, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 12, 2023 As Jeff says have the approach and angle set to 'By Instance'. I had a user this week with the same issue. Cheers, Peter Quote Link to comment
