Ok, so I think this would be a very powerful feature to add to Vectorworks. Here's the scenario-
Often there is a need to detail individual components of a model. If you build your model using symbols for individual components, there is no easy way at the moment to do a specific detail of each symbol component unless you separate them via layers or classes, so you can show only one instance.
The wish - to be able to choose a symbol instead of a layer using the Layers button for a Viewport in the OIP. This would be much like the control given when you edit a symbol (ie. the Layer drop down shows the symbol as the layer). Then you could easily detail the symbol from any view.
You can post now and register later.
