0 Pat Stanford Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The Resource Manager just shows resources in standard VW files stored in different locations. Locate the file and delete the file if you want everything gone (backup first), or pick specific resources to delete. You can use the Reveal in Finder {Reveal in Explorer?} buttons from the User Folder pane of VW Preferences to locate files in those folders. Favorites are wherever you saved them. Vectorworks Libraries are in the Application Folder. Premium Libraries are in the cloud. If you don't want to see items from a specific category (say Premium Libraries) you can just toggle the button at the Top Left of the RM. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Peter Neufeld. Posted January 26 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 26 Hello, With questions like this you really should be utilising the excellent Help system. At the top right of each palette and dialogue there's a '?' which when clicked will take you to the relevant page. If you do so at the top right of the Resource Manager(RM) it will take you to this page. Open that and you'll also see that there are two excellent short videos that explain the use of resources and the RM itself. Cheers, Peter Quote Link to comment

If you right-click on the file in the file browser pane there is the option to 'Remove from Favorites'. Likewise, with the file selected you can go to the gearwheel button ('Action' menu) + select the same command there. I think if the file lives in your Favorites user folder then this deletes the file in that location, but if the file lives somewhere else it just deletes the link to it + not the file itself... 1 Quote Link to comment

(see attached) Somewhere on this FORUM a suggestion was posted for searching In a search engine : what you want to find site:app-help.vectorworks.net/202X/ (Change the end four digit year to match desired version of VW) Example: Paste in Place site:app-help.vectorworks.net/2021/ should search for "Paste in Place" in the 2021 HELP files and may I add that the - what you want to find - verbiage is another stumbling block (Quotes should get the exact phrase) Peter Search VW Help for Paste In Place_1.mov Quote Link to comment
