carpalmer Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 hi, often update my "latest" VW file by copying and pasting-in- place elements from a different version of that same drawing. That is, I might paste in a structural plan I've worked out on a differently named file (but that originated from the same drawing). I paste-in-place and it usually goes exactly where it should, but the process gets hairy when it doesn't. What makes this "shift" happen if I have not moved things around in neither drawing? Please advise Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Not sure how it moved, but you can set the origin to drawing center in all files and it should work. Quote Link to comment

panta rhei Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Carpalmer, You wouldn't, by any chance, have Rulers displayed? They are the Rulers of the World (Coordinates). It may seem handy to move the ruler origin, but doing so moves the entire World. When I use VectorWorks, said Humpty-Dumpty in a rather scornful voice, rulers mean exactly nothing, no more, no less. Therefore I turn them off. Quote Link to comment
