How do I move a symbol from the active file to my favourites


Iainy1961

Question

I have created some symbols and I want to move them to my favourites file. I thought I could just drag that folder but apparently not. I tried export, move but I have failed miserably.What I want to do is put these symbols into my favourite folder. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Iain

Hello @Iainy1961,

First you will have to create a favourites file. To do so you can open an empty file and import all of your needed resources into it and then in the resource manager you can click on the settings drop down and add that file as a favourite file as shown in the screenshot:

When you will have a favourite file you can select your resource and export it into the favourite file as shown in the screenshots below to keep it up to date:

You might need to give it a refresh after you export a resource to your favourites for it to be visible in the resource manager. To do that you can right click on Favourites and click Refresh as in the screenshot below:

Note: If you will add the favourites file the way showed in this example it will create a shortcut for Vectorworks to reach the file in the location where you will save it in the first place. Make sure to keep it in a safe location as if you will delete the file we don't have a way to recover it.
