Sheet Layer Template?

Hello,

If this is for Data Tags why not save them in a file and add as a Favourite?

Or place in the Annotations>Defaults folder in your user folder. Easily accessed via the Vectorworks Preferences>User Folder>Reveal in Finder.

 

/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/2024/Libraries/Annotations/Data Tag (styles)

 

Cheers,

Peter

I can save you one keystroke. 😉

 

There is a setting in Symbol Options to Convert To Group.  This will automatically convert the symbol to a group when it is inserted into the drawing.  

 

Symbols like this have their name in Blue text in the Resource Manager and are often referred to as "Blue Symbols"

 

Similarly are "Red Symbols" which are symbols that contain a single PIO instance that automatically converts back to the PIO when inserted instead of staying as a symbol.

Perfect! It's "blue" now!
