David L Posted April 6, 2000 Share Posted April 6, 2000 In MiniCAD 7 you could have symbols containing linked text (like a title block) that were editable even with symbol locked, and this was a very useful feature. In VectorWorks 8 you can no longer edit the linked text with the symbol locked. If you can't lock the symbol you may as well use static text blocks instead of linked text. Also, in MiniCad 7 if you replaced a symbol containing linked text with another similar one using the same Record Format the replacing symbol would inherit the edited linked text from the original. This was especially useful when using CON DOC style drawing titles because you often need to replace a title symbol with one of a different length. So, where these features intentionally removed or what happened to them? Quote Link to comment
