0 mike m oz Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 That is exactly what a symbol does. Convert what you want to duplicate that way into a symbol with the Leave Instance in Place option on. Then duplicate and rotate away as required. Quote Link to comment
0 AndiACD Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hey Mike, As we're on the subject of symbols, does 2008 or 2009 show the rotation on each plane as it does with the coordinates in the OI Palette, now? . . . . X, Y, Z . . . are they editable in the OI? If not i'll have to add it to the wish list. Quote Link to comment
0 mike m oz Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 AndiCAD, no it doesn't. With 2D and 2D/3D hybrid symbols you get the plan rotation of the symbol. With 3D symbols you get nothing. There must be a reason for it being that way. Quote Link to comment
0 AndiACD Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Bad News!!! For me, this is another one of those essential options that should be included in the OI. Thanx for the info. Quote Link to comment
0 MullinRJ Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 AndiACD, Have you tried Reshaper? It will give you access to this and MUCH more. If you'd like to try a full demo FREE for 30 days, email me at info@siriussolutions.net Raymond Quote Link to comment
0 jbrhwy Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Raymond's Reshaper is an essential editing tool for me. For lines it has the option to display angles as an azimuth, wish Nemetschek would add this as an option in the OIP window. Raymond does it working with VW2009? I can't check as I am not upgrading until the issue of arc polylines is resolved (15 year wait). Quote Link to comment
0 AndiACD Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Sounds interesting!! So, what is it, a plug-in? Edited October 5, 2008 by AndiACD Quote Link to comment
0 MullinRJ Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 AndiCAD, yes, it's a menu plugin for VW. Bruce, it does work with VW 2009, and I'm working on a preliminary release that should be ready after this weekend. I'm also working on some updates that will take a bit longer. For those that update or purchase Reshaper for VW 2009 the next upgrade will be free. Anyone who's interested can contact me at info@siriussolutions.net Raymond Quote Link to comment
