beanus Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 is there such a thing as construction lines hidden away in Vectorworks, something similar to Xline in Autocad, I know you can convert lines to guides but it would be usefull if you could insert a horizontal or vertical line with just one click of the mouse!

Gerrit Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 VectorWorks Preferences > first tab > Snap to Loci. Now insert a locus (one click), to get reference lines in both X and Y axis. Quote Link to comment
dontevenjoke Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 These can be changed in colour so if there are too many you can set up different sets of lines in their own classes. These don't print so they may also go in non-plot. I find they are invaluable in setting up architectural drawings. Also, for more information on the locus and it's many uses, tune into the podcast at http://www.podcad.tv. Pat and Dan visit with Francois Levy and workshop the locii from alot of different angles.
