VincentCuclair Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) When i press Ctrl + Alt i get a little pipette with a star over it. (It's a pick up attributes and activate tool in one function) is this native VW or is it a 3rd party plug-in i installed at one time and forgot about? Anyone know?

rkraybill Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The icon appearance sounds like the Magic Wand tool in PhotoShop - is that an accurate comparison? I haven't run across it in VW (version 8 through 2008). Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 It is the Create similar object command. A very handy addition to VW2009. Essentially it allows you to create another object simply by holding down those keys and clicking on a door for example. It makes a copy of the original that you can place somewhere else. There is a preference in the Vectorworks preferences that will control if you will be switched to the same layer an object is picked up from. HTH, ion Quote Link to comment
