Retrieving object names in worksheets


Recommended Posts

No a complete list, but the majority are available in Appendix E of the VectorScript Appendix.

Go the the VW Help. Select VectorScriptReference. Click on the link in the right hand window. Click on the Additional Resources in the Top Left window and then on VectorWorks Appendix in the Bottom Left Window. Pick Appendix E in the Right window.

There are also the database names for Plug-in Objects

that you might be looking for, to use in worksheets.

Pat Stanford made a menu command that I find very useful.

He shared it with us, the .vsm file is attached. You can put this

file in your (if you are on a Mac it looks like this, Windows will

be just slightly different):

User ->Library->Application Support->VW2008->Plug-ins folder.

Then add it to your workspace using the Workspace Editor.

The cool thing about this is you click on any Plug-in Object, say a Door,

then select this PIO Cheat Sheet command, and by the magic of Pat it

creates a worksheet with all of the database parameters for that type of

PIO. You just copy the items that you want from Column B, and paste

them right into a database row in your other worksheet/schedules.

I posted an explanation about it here:

Thanks gmm18, thanks Pat -- that's quite helpful! I installed the script and it works perfectly. Once again, it seems that the answer to my question has already been posted previously. I usually try to search the forum first, but either my searching skills aren't that good, or the board's search function just isn't up to Google standards (or some of both)...
