Kevin Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I am stumped on this one. All of the dimensions in my door and window schedules are reading decimal feet. 2'-4" is reading 2.333'. How do I get these schedules to read feet and inches? Also, is there a way to eliminate some of the column entries, such as frame details? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 7, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 7, 2007 Select the height and width fields in the database header row. Choose "Format Cells" from the worksheet menu. Go to the Number tab and set the number style to "Dimension". Now the cells in the worksheet should always match document units.

Kevin Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thank you Robert. That did it. I am puzzled why VW has the default value in decimal feet. Robert, can you direct me as to how I can once and for all understand how the schedule system works in VW. The online help manual seems to jump around without giving a step by step how to. Now that you have solved that problem, I am trying to figure out how to eliminate some of the columns that I do not need from the schedule. I have used this software since MiniCad and still am not comfortable with the schedules. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted February 7, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 7, 2007 Kevin, this is a bug (number B056036, entered 1/18/07, if you ever want to inquire about it). It will be fixed in a future release. I apologize for any inconvenience. A thorough understanding of how to edit worksheets is beyond the scope or intentions of the Tech Support Bulletin Board (and in fact may cross the border from "tech support" into "training".) Eliminating a column from a worksheet is as simple as selecting the column header and choosing "delete" off the worksheet menu. It works pretty much just like Excel. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thanks Robert. I was not asking for training. I was simply asking if perhaps I do not understand how to use the online manual. I do appreciate your time and certainly do not expect you to do more than provide tech support. Thank you for all that you do. Quote Link to comment
