fox Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 'Smart points' seem to have taken a step backwards - they are not as useable as in VW 12.5 Has anyone else found this to be an issue? Vectorworks 2009 Mac OSX 10.5.5 Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I find Smart Points a huge improvement in VW 2009. Have you checked out the preferences? Quote Link to comment
fox Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ok if I have the wrong prefs, what would I need to change in order to 'smart point snap' as shown in the attached image (done in 12.5)? Thanks Quote Link to comment
fox Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ok I have just worked out how to do this. Apparently I now need to press 'T' to get what i'm after. It still seems a step backwards in terms of this functionality to me (compared with VW12.5 that is). Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 If you double click on any of the buttons in the constraints pallette, it will bring up the Constraints Setting dialog box. If you go to the Smart Points settings, you can turn on the automatic capture of smart points and datums to make it more like VW12 and not have to always use the T (or G) keys.

Ray Libby Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Do a search on "smart points" in the Vectorworks online help. Quote Link to comment
quigley Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Also adjust the delay setting in the edge constraints. Not sure what the default is as I changed mine to zero to get the same behaviour as previous versions (it's a constraint I use a lot) Quote Link to comment
