Jess A Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Been coming across this since I updated to VW 2025. Anytime I use the Redraw Circuit tool I can only use it once. After I use it, I have to unselect it and select it again to redraw another circuit. It happens across all my files since updating. In VW 2024, I could keep using it until I turned it off.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted October 4 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 4 @Jeff G just trying that here and I'm not seeing this at all. Can you give some details? Mac / Win, version & build number? Maybe PM me a document that does the problem? As soon as we can reproduce it we will get it sorted out. Conrad Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted October 4 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 4 Sorry my mistake - I misread your post. We're talking about the Connect tool Redraw mode. Well there you go... we thought that leaving this mode on was a bug because it could easily result in unexpected behavior of the Connect tool. Seems like we disabled a feature in your view. Leave this with me. I'll see if I can find a way to make everyone happy in a service pack. Sorry we inconvenienced you. Conrad Quote Link to comment
Jess A Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 Thanks @Conrad Preen. I must've gotten used to it and thought it was normal behavior. You're right, sometimes leaving it on can cause unwanted behavior. It was nice that it would turn itself off if you started drawing a new circuit on an empty socket. Quote Link to comment
Jess A Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 @Conrad Preen I also think the Redraw Circuit tool used to leave itself on even if you left the Connect tool as a whole. I can see how that would cause some unwanted issues. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Conrad Preen Posted October 7 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 7 @Jess A How about turning it off when you select another tool? I want this mode to be "spring-loaded" so you don't end up wondering what's going on. But I can see that it would be frustrating if you want to redraw successive circuits. Trying to find the middle way here. It's not a big thing to change but let's get it right. Conrad Quote Link to comment
