dhbrown Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I want to save my new plants I've created in the library. I followed the instructions given in the VectorWorks Landmark Training Workbook (pg 195) and it was pretty straight forward. I opened the Plant Symbols.mcd drawing and put them there, as per the workbook. I created one plant for now, and it does show up in the database portion of the Place Plant tool (ie, below the light grey line, below the plants in the Res Brow section). I am able to place this plant on the dwg with the Place Plant tool. This is all great, since I now can make any edits to it here and it will stay consistent throughout my dwgs. However, when I select it to modify it thru the Plant Data (to change the Category), by clicking Edit Current in the Place Plant tool, it isn't there. When I look for it under AEC >Plants >Plant Reference Database it doesn't show up there either. Why? I thought this was the library? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Are you using VW 12 or 2008? P.S. - It's not a bad idea to add this info to your signature to alleviate having to respond with this info in the future. Quote Link to comment
dhbrown Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 VW 12.5.2 Mac OS X v.10.4.10 I tried to add it...how do I do it? It asked me all sorts of questions in order to do this. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Do you want the symbols available for choice when creating a new plant definition, or do you want your settings for a plant definition to show up in the plant tool as default plants? Quote Link to comment
dhbrown Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 It's working now, with no change on my part. I guess it was a hiccup. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
